About Parinaz
Parinaz Fard-Aghaie uses a client-centered approach to therapy and emphasizes a respectful, collaborative relationship. She is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with three years of professional experience. Parinaz speaks plain language and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
She helps people manage stress and anxiety and works with concerns about depression and low self-esteem. Relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and motivation are also regular topics she addresses.
How Parinaz works
Parinaz pays attention to how past experiences shape current reactions and decisions. Sessions center on the person's goals and strengths. The work can include looking at unhelpful thoughts, retelling difficult memories, or exploring long-standing patterns that affect relationships.
Parinaz offers exercises to practice between sessions and checks in about what is most helpful. Her background blends client-centered care with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, narrative therapy, and psychodynamic ideas. That mix lets her adapt to different needs, whether the focus is on symptom relief or understanding deeper patterns.
People often bring issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, and commitment worries. Other common concerns include divorce and separation, domestic violence, family of origin problems, immigration-related stress, loneliness, life purpose questions, and money or financial stress. Parinaz provides therapy in English and works with adults in Florida.
She aims to create a supportive space where people can take small steps toward clearer thinking and steadier emotional balance.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches available online
Parinaz commonly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR when appropriate. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and strengths and involves reflective listening and collaborative planning. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety and improve mood. EMDR is used to process distressing memories by combining focused attention with guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation; it can help reduce the intensity of traumatic memories.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest a path forward. That collaboration allows methods to be adjusted over time, moving toward symptom relief or deeper understanding as needed.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow for a full session similar to in-person meetings, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat can work for short check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, and family schedules while keeping a steady course of support.
