About Arras
Arras Khaledi is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing difficult life changes. He works with individuals who are dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship strain, grief, or struggles with self-esteem. His approach is straightforward and focused on practical steps people can use between sessions.
Arras keeps sessions collaborative and down-to-earth. He listens first, then helps clients set clear, manageable goals. Conversations often include problem-solving, skill practice, and reflections to build insight about patterns that cause pain.
Background and approach
He blends several well-known therapy approaches to match each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing are tools he uses to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new behaviors, and connect with their values. Client-Centered Therapy guides his emphasis on empathy and respect for each person's experience.
Arras draws on five years of professional experience in Texas. He aims to help people build resilience and make concrete changes in daily life. Sessions are meant to be practical, with clear steps and follow-up so progress can be measured over time.
His style is calm and encouraging. He supports people who want to improve how they manage stress, handle work or relationship pressures, or find clearer direction after a major life event. Arras focuses on steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Arras uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values and take committed action even when difficult feelings are present. Motivational Interviewing is used when people are making behavior changes and need support to find their own reasons for change.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Arras will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. He emphasizes clear, shared decision making so the approach matches needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let people have a full conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can be better when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can fit into a busy day and support ongoing coaching between longer sessions.
