Arras Khaledi, LPC

Arras Khaledi is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing relationship strain, anxiety, depression, stress, and major life changes. He works with individuals coping with grief, trauma, addiction, parenting pressures, and concerns about intimacy and self-esteem. Arras uses straightforward language and a calm approach aimed at making therapy feel manageable from the first session.

He combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with acceptance-based ideas and client-centered listening. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying small behavior changes, and clarifying values that matter most. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help finding momentum for change.

Arras keeps things practical. He helps people set short-term goals, track progress, and learn skills for sleep, anger, or stress management. Meetings include talking through recent problems, experimenting with new responses, and building routines that support wellbeing.

Over five years of practice have shaped his flexible style. He values collaboration and treats each person as the expert on their own life. People leaving sessions often have clearer next steps and concrete tools to try between meetings.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Fees vary by location and availability and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Arras draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used alongside CBT to clarify values and build willingness to act on them even when emotions are difficult. Client-centered techniques prioritize listening and reflecting so clients feel understood and can lead the pace of work.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Arras collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and comfort with different methods. He adjusts plans as progress is made and as priorities shift over time.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make scheduling more flexible. Video is useful for a fuller conversational feel, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits quick check-ins, and messaging lets someone share thoughts between sessions. These formats allow therapy to fit around work, caregiving, or other daily demands while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
