Background and approach
She also uses client-centered work to follow each person's priorities and emotionally focused ideas when relationship strain is part of the problem. She holds a Doctor of Medicine degree and is licensed as a clinical social worker in multiple states, listed as LCSW-C and LCSW.
Over eight years she has worked in inpatient and outpatient settings and has provided telehealth services for the past two years. That background informs practical care for common concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress-related problems. Typical sessions involve identifying current coping patterns and trying small experiments to replace them with healthier options.
She helps people build skills for emotion regulation, communication, and managing daily demands. When relationships matter, she brings in strategies to improve connection and reduce conflict. Iman works with adults on a range of issues including grief, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, parenting strain, and career-related stress.
She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English using video, phone, chat, or text formats.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experiences. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and follows the client's priorities to shape each session. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches practical exercises to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean leaning into CBT skills for daily coping, using mindfulness practices to reduce physiological stress, or using client-centered conversation to sort out priorities. Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visuals help, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send notes or get brief support between sessions. These options increase flexibility and let people keep continuity of care across locations and schedules.Questions people ask
