About Froogh
Froogh Vakili-Khatibloo is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 20 years of experience. She offers psychotherapy and harm-reduction services for adults and adolescents and works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, and mood concerns.
She draws on long experience in community mental health and work with insurance, EAP, Medicare, Medicaid, and workers' compensation networks. Sessions focus on practical steps for change. She uses motivational interviewing to help people set realistic goals and move out of stuck patterns.

How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical techniques to change thought and behavior patterns that keep problems like depression or anxiety going. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding emotions and improving how people respond in close relationships, which can help with relationship and intimacy-related concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods and adjust as needed so the approach matches the client's situation and objectives.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoid being on camera when that's not needed. These practical benefits help people keep regular appointments and apply new skills between sessions.
