About Arras
Arras Khaledi helps people who are facing relationship strain, career stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, grief, and major life changes. He is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with five years of experience and offers a calm, straightforward approach. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer goals rather than jargon.
He listens first and then works with each person to map small changes that add up. Arras uses methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based work to reduce unhelpful thinking and increase meaningful action.
How Arras works
He also draws on motivational interviewing and client-centered principles to keep conversations guided by the person's values. In sessions he helps people untangle communication problems, cope with trauma or compassion fatigue, and manage mood conditions such as depression or bipolar symptoms. He supports people dealing with eating and sleeping concerns, ADHD-related struggles, and anger or control issues.
Practical coping skills and behavior changes are often part of his work. Arras pays attention to how life events like divorce, abandonment, aging, or disaster-related stress change daily routines and relationships. He helps people rebuild routines, address attachment patterns, and improve intimacy-related challenges.
The focus is on what can be done now to make life more manageable. Sessions are provided in English from Texas and offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. He uses a collaborative style that asks about goals, values, and what has helped before.
The aim is steady progress toward clearer choices and better functioning.

How these approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. In practice this means identifying what matters most and trying small behavior experiments that reflect those priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change patterns like avoidance or negative thinking. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to strengthen a person's own motivation for change by exploring ambivalence and building readiness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Arras will talk with each person about goals, past efforts, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and tweak the plan over time based on how things are going.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversations and guided skill practice. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief coaching, ongoing encouragement, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family responsibilities, or busy schedules.
