She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Florida with five years of experience. Her approach is straightforward and focused on practical steps toward feeling better.

How Faryal works
Faryal uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She draws on attachment-focused ideas to look at how past relationships affect current patterns. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance. Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques help people deepen how they understand and express feelings. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the process grounded in each person's values and goals.
Her work often addresses secondary issues like body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness, communication problems, codependency, and forgiveness. She also supports people coping with abandonment, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, eating issues, divorce and domestic violence aftermath. Faryal offers sessions in English and meets people online using multiple formats.

Online support options
How these approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online work with this approach helps people notice how past attachments affect trust and closeness, and then practice new ways of connecting and expressing needs.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online sessions this means identifying unhelpful thinking, testing new behaviors between meetings, and tracking small wins over time.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. These practical skills can be taught in sessions and rehearsed with short exercises between meetings to build steady coping strategies.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try methods that fit the person's needs and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging can support quick check-ins, skills practice, and ongoing accountability between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work consistently.
