More about Dara

Hi, I’m Dara — a Holistic Psychotherapist/Certified Nutrition Counselor, who specializes in Health Psychology. I work mostly with clients struggling with anxiety, overwhelm/burnout, high performance demands, or healthy behavior change (i.e., lifestyle changes related to weight management, type 2 diabetes, adopting healthier habits, etc.).

With mindfulness as a foundation, I take a mind–body approach to therapy, helping clients calm their nervous system, understand their patterns, and build routines that support emotional and physical well-being.

My style is warm, compassionate, and practical, blending evidence-based tools with practical strategies that fit real life.

If you’re looking for a therapist that works with the whole person and helps you feel more balanced and in control, I’m here to help.

About online counseling

Affordable.: Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.: There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
