About Estafan
Estafan Farag is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 15 years of professional experience. He helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief and loss, anger management, and depression. He also focuses on caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, and feelings of guilt, shame, or isolation.
Estafan uses practical conversation to clarify what is most pressing. Sessions focus on what is happening in daily life and on small changes that can reduce stress and improve mood. He listens for patterns in thinking and behavior that contribute to repeated conflict or low mood, and then works with the client to try different coping options.
He pays attention to the roles people play in relationships and to how communication habits add to strain. For those facing separation or divorce he offers steady, direct support for decisions and next steps. For grief and loss the work centers on managing strong emotions and restoring routines that help people function day to day.
Estafan addresses caregiver strain by identifying priorities and simple, realistic coping skills to reduce burnout. When guilt or shame is present he helps people name those feelings and practice more balanced self-talk. For mood concerns he supports tracking patterns and experimenting with short, practical strategies to shift daily experience.
Sessions combine straightforward conversation and problem-solving. People meet to talk through current problems, set small goals, and try out new habits between sessions. To start, visitors are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based methods work in online sessions
Estafan describes his work as drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood, stress, and relationship problems. Cognitive-style approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. These methods help with worry, repetitive negative thoughts, and day-to-day mood management.Behavioral strategies are used to change routines that feed depression or anger. That includes activity scheduling, brief behavioral experiments, and practical steps to rebuild daily structure. These techniques are aimed at improving energy, sleep patterns, and engagement in meaningful activities.
Choosing the right method is part of the work. He will collaborate with clients to figure out which techniques fit their goals and preferences. That means reviewing what has or hasn't helped before, setting clear short-term goals, and adjusting the plan over time.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full in-person visit would be difficult. Discuss session length and timing after completing the matching questionnaire to find a practical arrangement that fits everyday life.
