About Mitra
Mitra Shahryary welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or big life changes. She offers a calm, straightforward approach for people who want practical steps to feel steadier. Mitra is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - with 14 years of experience and she practices in Virginia.
Mitra helps people talk through traumatic experiences and work on self-esteem and motivation. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, doable changes rather than abstract talk.
Background and approach
She encourages honest conversation about feelings and patterns so someone can try new ways of coping. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape reactions and on cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses solution-focused methods to build on what already works and trauma-focused tools when painful histories need careful attention.
Mitra aims to make the therapy space nonjudgmental and practical. People leave sessions with concrete steps to practice between meetings. Over time those small changes add up to better sleep, calmer reactions, and clearer choices.
She is licensed in Virginia, the District of Columbia, and Colorado, and brings experience helping with parenting stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, career stress, ADHD, grief, and a wide range of attachment and family-related issues. If someone wants steady support during a difficult time, Mitra guides the process toward manageable progress.

Online support
How Mitra’s Approaches Work Online
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior; it helps when connection patterns cause stress or repeating problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. Trauma-focused therapy provides careful, paced tools to address painful memories and the ways those memories affect daily life and relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Mitra will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She checks in about what feels useful and adjusts plans so therapy stays focused and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people balancing work, parenting, or busy schedules. Video calls let the therapist and client see cues and do deeper work, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options help people keep steady progress without rearranging their whole day.
