More about Saher
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor with five years of experience working as a therapist in Texas. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, ranging from depression, anxiety, trauma, divorce, abuse, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, OCD, addiction, self-harm, and others. My personal experiences being bi-cultural also allow me to connect with clients who struggle with identity issues.
My approach to therapy is based in Existential Therapy. Existentialism focuses on purpose and meaning in life. It is often paired with techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, as well as, CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My therapy style is warm, genuine, and I always strive to provide a safe and judgement free space for my clients to feel comfortable sharing their story.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
