About Naira
Naira Karapetyan helps people who are dealing with grief, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She supports people facing stress, relationship and intimacy worries, parenting strain, sleep problems, and career uncertainty.
Background and approach
Naira also assists with trauma, mood disorders, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and codependency concerns. She keeps sessions straightforward and practical.
Conversations focus on what is bothering a person now and what small steps could make daily life easier. Naira listens for patterns in thoughts, reactions, and relationships, then works with clients to try different ways of responding.
Naira uses a mix of approaches depending on the issue. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Psychodynamic work looks at how past experiences shape current feelings. Solution-Focused moments target quick, practical goals that fit into busy lives.
Clients can expect clear feedback and simple tools to practice between sessions. Naira explains techniques in plain language and checks in about how things are going.
She offers coaching-style support when people need guidance alongside therapy. She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - LMFT - based in California and has twelve years of professional experience.
Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging, and conversations are conducted in English.
How Naira’s Approaches Work Online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, low mood, and sleep disruption. It breaks problems into concrete steps clients can practice between sessions. Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past experiences and repeated relationship patterns influence current feelings and reactions, which can help when grief, family of origin issues, or long-standing anger are present.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, trial strategies, and adjust methods as needed so the plan fits the client's needs and preferences. That collaboration helps shape whether sessions emphasize skill-building, deeper reflection, or short-term solutions.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls allow fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work better when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to keep regular contact, try techniques between meetings, and fit therapy into a busy life.
