About Naira
Naira Karapetyan helps people manage grief, anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship and family concerns. She supports people dealing with trauma, parenting strain, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and career or life-purpose questions. Naira approaches hard topics with a calm, nonjudgmental presence.
She keeps sessions straightforward and focused. Conversations aim to clarify what feels most urgent and what small changes could make a difference. Naira uses practical tools alongside deeper exploration so people leave with clear steps they can try between sessions.
How Naira works
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and on Psychodynamic Therapy to look at how past patterns affect present life. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and Internal Family Systems ideas to understand conflicting parts of the self. These methods are applied in ways that fit each person’s situation.
Naira treats caregiving stress, codependency, communication breakdowns, divorce and separation issues, and family-of-origin wounds. She also supports people facing first-responder stress, multicultural concerns, seasonal mood shifts, social anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. Practical coping strategies are paired with attention to emotional meaning.
She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, practicing in California with 12 years of experience. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling follows.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and mood regulation because it offers concrete strategies people can practice between sessions.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that developed over time and how earlier relationships shape current reactions. It can help people understand recurring conflicts, attachment issues, and some intimacy or family-of-origin problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Sessions may blend approaches over time as priorities shift and progress is noticed.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for people who prefer written check-ins or want support between sessions. These formats provide scheduling flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
