AAbout
About Haleh
Haleh Royanian is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia with 25 years of practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting, anger, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and ADHD. She speaks English and Persian.
Haleh works in a straightforward, person-first way. Sessions are practical and aim to identify what is getting in the way of everyday functioning. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses.
Her experience includes supporting people through divorce and separation, caregiver strain, immigration-related adjustment, and multicultural stressors. She also addresses post-traumatic stress, mood disorders, social anxiety, and issues linked to self-harm. Her work often focuses on the daily challenges of managing emotions and relationships.
In sessions she helps people set small, doable goals and practices they can use between meetings. That can mean short behavioral experiments, attention training, or values-based steps drawn from ACT and motivational interviewing. The emphasis is on skills people can apply at home, work, or in family life.
People who contact Haleh can expect clear, direct discussions about practical next steps and what to try first. She encourages steady progress over time and adapts methods to each person's situation and cultural background.
BHow sessions work
How Haleh applies ACT, CBT and client-centered work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions consistent with those values. It focuses on reducing avoidance and building willingness to face difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and tests practical changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an open, listening stance where the therapist reflects concerns and supports the client's own problem-solving.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Haleh will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative step often involves trying a technique and adjusting based on what helps in real life.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-in sessions when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use practices from sessions in the environments where they struggle most, such as applying mindfulness at home or trying behavioral experiments between meetings.
