About Naira

Naira Karapetyan is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California who helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and major life changes. She focuses on creating a calm space where clients can speak honestly about difficult feelings. She encourages practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

With 12 years of clinical experience, Naira draws on several approaches to suit each person’s needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build more helpful routines. She also uses Psychodynamic work to look at recurring patterns that come from early relationships. Solution-Focused techniques help set small, achievable goals so clients can notice change sooner.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. People can expect to talk through current problems, experiment with new ways of coping, and reflect on what’s working. Naira places emphasis on real-life skills like sleep routines, communication strategies, and managing mood swings.

She also supports people dealing with trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, caregiver stress, and career concerns. Naira pays attention to cultural background and how it shapes values, expectations, and daily stressors.

Taking the first step can feel hard. Naira aims to be a steady, practical partner in that process, helping people set clear goals and try small, manageable changes that fit their life.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Naira commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to create practical changes in daily routines and mood. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable goals so people can notice progress quickly and build momentum.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together rather than sticking to one method rigidly.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people work on sleep routines, stress management, and communication skills between regular appointments to keep progress moving.
