Arras Khaledi, LPC

Arras Khaledi is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing major life changes and emotional strain. He works with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, addiction, and stress. He also supports people dealing with aging and geriatric issues, ADHD, trauma, and parenting challenges.

Arras aims for a straightforward, collaborative style. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. He listens first, then helps people notice patterns that get in the way. Conversations often include skills to manage strong feelings and to improve communication with others.

He uses a mix of approaches that fit each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps with unhelpful thinking and behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports values-based choices. Motivational Interviewing can help when someone feels stuck or unsure about change.

Arras emphasizes small, manageable changes. He helps people build routines for better sleep, eating, and daily coping. He also supports those working through separation, abandonment, or attachment concerns. The work aims to increase self-understanding and resilience.

With five years of experience, he brings practical skills and a patient manner. Meetings are collaborative and paced to what each person can handle. Prospective clients who want a clear, goal-focused approach may find his way of working helpful.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are hard. It can be useful for life transitions, stress, and mood challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more useful habits; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating difficulties. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore ambivalence and build motivation for change when someone feels stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. That conversation is a team effort and can shift as needs change over time.

Confirm available session formats before booking, since specific online options are not listed in the biography. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. Some formats are better for brief follow-ups while others suit deeper work, and Arras will help determine what session rhythm and approach suit a person’s schedule and priorities.
