About Arras
Arras Khaledi is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas with five years of clinical experience. He works with adults dealing with relationship strain, parenting challenges, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and major life changes. He also supports people facing issues like low self-esteem, anger, sleep or eating concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Arras takes a straightforward, practical approach in sessions. He listens to what matters most and helps people clarify goals. Sessions often focus on concrete steps to manage stress, improve communication, and address patterns that get in the way of daily life.
He uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. That means sessions combine noticing thoughts and feelings, testing small behavior changes, and exploring what matters to each person. He helps people translate insights into things they can try between sessions.
Arras pays attention to how life roles and responsibilities affect emotional health. He can help parents and adults who are juggling work, caregiving, and relationship demands to find clearer routines and coping strategies. He also supports people working through trauma, abandonment, attachment concerns, and separation or divorce.
Sessions aim to be practical and steady. People can expect a focus on skills they can use right away and on clearer ways to talk about problems with others. To start, the usual first step is a brief intake to map concerns and decide on next steps.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions and what to expect
Arras commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. ACT encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that reflect what matters most. It can help when people feel overwhelmed by difficult emotions or uncertain about next steps. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve daily routines.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. That might mean trying one method for a few weeks and adjusting based on what helps most, with clear steps to practice between sessions.
