About Naira
Naira Karapetyan is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, anger, and life changes. She creates a calm space where clients can talk through difficult feelings and start making small changes that matter.
She uses practical, goal-oriented methods to address everyday problems. Sessions often focus on skills for managing strong emotions, coping with loss, improving sleep, and handling work or relationship strain.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing burnout, caregiving stress, and challenges tied to mood disorders. Naira blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with psychodynamic ideas to look at how current patterns connect to past experiences. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set achievable goals and Internal Family Systems to help clients understand different parts of themselves.
Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She listens first, then suggests tools and experiments clients can try between sessions. Progress is measured by changes in daily life, such as calmer reactions, better sleep, or clearer decision-making.
With 12 years of experience as an LMFT, she brings both practical techniques and attention to the stories behind difficult feelings. People seeking help for anger, relationship tension, trauma, or major life transitions often find the mix of skills and reflection useful.

How her approaches shape online therapy
Naira commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and impulsive reactions. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, practical steps and clear goals to create change quickly and build momentum.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. She will talk with clients about their needs and preferences, and then recommend methods to try. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper exploration. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins, skills practice, and ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and try new strategies in daily life.
