Flexible Online Therapy Grounded in Practical, Evidence-Based Care

Samayra Tavakoli draws from approaches that help clients understand patterns, build skills, and move toward the life they want, even when things feel overwhelming.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It can be especially helpful for stress, anxiety, and depression by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new ways of responding. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship effectiveness, which can support clients who feel stuck in intense emotions or recurring conflict. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult internal experiences while clarifying values and taking steps that align with what matters most.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Samayra works collaboratively with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, then adjusts the pace and focus to fit their needs.

Online therapy also makes it easier to stay consistent. Sessions can happen through video calls or phone sessions, with the added flexibility of live chat or text-based messaging for ongoing support between appointments.
