About Nikoo
ACA counsellor Nikoo Arbabsiyar has five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. She also focuses on post-traumatic stress, self-love and workplace issues. Sessions are delivered in English and Persian.
Nikoo trained with a Bachelor in Clinical Psychology and a Master in General Psychology. She is studying for a PhD on virtual reality and trauma recovery, and she draws on recent research when planning sessions. Her primary approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) depending on what each person needs.
In practical terms she offers structured work as well as mindfulness exercises and strengths-based techniques. Conversations include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behaviour changes. Some sessions focus on emotions and relationships using EFT ideas to clarify interactions and feelings.
Nikoo aims to help people build everyday skills for managing mood and stress. She supports practical strategies for coping with workplace strain and recovering from traumatic events. Her research interest in virtual reality informs how she thinks about recovery, but she combines that with standard CBT and ACT tools.
People meet her to talk through specific problems or to learn techniques for day-to-day coping. To begin, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling options before booking.

How ACT, CBT and EFT are used in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to meaningful actions. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life transitions where values-based action is helpful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns and testing practical behaviour changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding and naming emotions and how they shape close interactions and personal responses.Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That discussion can include trying different techniques and checking what feels useful in practice.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday or work break, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Conversations can include CBT exercises, ACT values work and EFT-style emotion processing adapted for remote sessions. Ask about format options and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire.
