Froogh Vakili-Khatibloo

Froogh Vakili-Khatibloo is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 20 years of experience. She offers a steady, practical approach for people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and relationship strain. Sessions are offered in English and Persian, and she works with individuals and couples to set clear, realistic goals.

She blends trauma-focused work with acceptance and commitment methods and client-centered listening. Cognitive behavioral techniques and emotionally-focused ideas are used to address mood, sleep, and stress problems. Motivational interviewing and harm-reduction principles guide conversations about substance use and making gradual change.

Froogh draws on long experience in community mental health and has worked with insurance panels, EAP plans, Medicare, Medicaid, and workers compensation systems. She helps people navigate job loss, career transitions, disability applications, and workplace conflict. Practical problem solving and planning are common parts of sessions when employment or financial strain is involved.

Many clients come to work through grief, abandonment, or the aftermath of abuse. Froogh aims to make space for people to access their own resilience and rebuild after loss. She teaches interpersonal skills, anger management, and communication tools so people can set boundaries and improve relationships.

She also offers clinical supervision and consultation for unlicensed professionals and graduate students. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Trauma-focused therapy helps people process upsetting events and the feelings that follow, often by pacing the work and building coping skills to manage reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values, learning to accept difficult thoughts, and taking steps toward a meaningful life. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, validation, and working at the client's pace so they can explore identity and goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss client needs, goals, and preferences and try methods that fit the person. If one way of working doesn't feel right, adjustments are made together so sessions match what the client wants to accomplish.

The therapist's biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when that suits the person, and remove travel time. They also let people keep therapy close to everyday routines while working on trauma, stress, career concerns, or relationship patterns with a licensed professional.
