Froogh speaks English and Persian and practices in Ohio while also accepting international clients through the site's process.

   She uses motivational interviewing to help people set goals and take small, meaningful steps toward change.

   People can expect straightforward skill teaching alongside open listening and exploration of values. Froogh aims to help clients notice what matters most and take steps toward it. She also offers clinical supervision and peer consultation for unlicensed clinicians and graduate students.

   Her Ohio license is LPCC, which stands for Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. That credential reflects training and practice in counseling and psychotherapy over many years.

2. How therapy approaches shape online work

   Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what they want and find their own reasons to change; it uses respectful questions and small steps to build momentum. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and practical actions, encouraging people to notice unhelpful thoughts and still move toward the life they want. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience, offering empathic listening and support so people can explore identity, relationships, and inner goals.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the collaboration in sessions. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit. That process helps shape which techniques are used and how skills are practiced between visits.
   
   The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows continued work with a licensed professional across time zones for international clients who want to keep therapy consistent.
