About Mitra
Mitra Shahryary is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Virginia, the District of Columbia, and Colorado with 14 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, and a range of life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and she works with adults who live in the listed states.
Mitra focuses on practical, day-to-day concerns. She talks through what is happening now and what feels most urgent. She uses clear methods to address sleep trouble, parenting strain, anger, and career stress as well as longer-standing issues like attachment difficulties and codependency.
Her approach draws on attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral methods, solution-focused steps, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused interventions. That means conversations may look at patterns in relationships, tackle unhelpful thoughts, set short-term goals, strengthen motivation, and address past hurt when needed. Sessions are aimed at making things more manageable in everyday life.
Mitra notes licensing rules that limit work to clients who live in Virginia, the District of Columbia, or Colorado. She does not provide documentation such as letters or reports that attest to diagnosis or mental fitness for legal or administrative purposes. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online intake flow. That first meeting is used to set goals and choose practical next steps.
BHow sessions work
How Mitra uses common therapeutic approaches online
Mitra uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at relationship patterns and how early connections affect current relationships. This approach is useful for people who notice repeating problems with trust, closeness, or separation anxiety in adult relationships.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT sessions often focus on practical steps you can try between meetings to improve sleep, reduce worry, or manage low mood. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone feels stuck about change; it helps clarify personal reasons for change and builds motivation in small, doable steps.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Mitra will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting plans as progress is made.
Confirm current session formats before booking, since this profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Those practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while managing work, family, and other responsibilities.
