About Parinaz
Parinaz Fard-Aghaie is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She speaks plainly with clients and aims to build a supportive space where people feel heard and guided. Parinaz frames therapy around each person's strengths and lived experience.
She treats clients as the expert in their own story and offers steady support as they work toward change.
Background and approach
With three years of professional experience, Parinaz blends several approaches to match what a person needs in the moment. She uses client-centered work to follow what matters most to the client. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior shifts.
Parinaz also uses narrative and psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences and family stories shape present patterns. When trauma is part of the picture she incorporates EMDR as one of the tools to address painful memories. Her approach balances practical steps with room to reflect on deeper patterns.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Parinaz helps people set clear, manageable goals and tracks progress over time. She offers direct feedback and teaches skills that can be used between sessions.
People who contact her can expect a calm, nonjudgmental presence and clear guidance on next steps. She works with adults in Florida and conducts sessions in English.

Online support
How different approaches work online
Parinaz combines client-centered work with targeted techniques to meet practical needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client can lead the pace and topics, which helps when someone wants space to talk through personal concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy identifies unhelpful thoughts and tests new behaviors, a useful fit for anxiety, mood challenges, and problem-focused goals.She also uses EMDR as one approach when trauma and painful memories are involved; EMDR aims to reduce the intensity of distressing memories through structured processing. Choosing which methods to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try approaches together and adjust as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a thorough session is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, homework review, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work consistently over time.
