About Haleh
Haleh Royanian is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related concerns. She works with adults facing life changes, relationship strain, grief, trauma, and caregiver stress. Sessions are offered in English and Persian and take place online through video, phone, chat, or text.
Haleh draws on practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes.
Background and approach
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and guide actions that matter. Mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions to reduce reactivity and build calm attention. Her approach is client-centered: she listens carefully and tailors each plan to the person in front of her.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and wants to find their own reasons to change. The goal is manageable steps, not complicated homework. Haleh has worked with multicultural populations and with people navigating immigration, divorce, and family stress.
That background informs how she talks about culture, identity, and the practical impacts of major life transitions. She pays attention to how those factors affect day-to-day coping. People who come for support can expect straightforward, collaborative work.
Conversations focus on concrete strategies to ease symptoms and improve functioning. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Approaches that guide online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small, meaningful actions toward those values even when uncomfortable feelings are present. It is useful for managing anxiety, depression, and motivation challenges.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce symptoms. This approach works well for anxiety, mood disorders, and practical ADHD-related strategies like planning and structuring tasks.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and tailoring sessions to the person's goals. This creates space to explore cultural issues, immigration stress, family transitions, and caregiving demands in a way that respects each person's perspective.
Haleh will collaborate with each person to find the best mix of approaches. She discusses goals and preferences up front and adjusts methods over time so therapy fits changing needs and real-life constraints.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face to face from their chosen location. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or a quick check-in during a busy day. Chat and messaging are useful for shorter exchanges, ongoing support between sessions, and people who prefer writing over speaking. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into daily life.
