Samira Soroory

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

“FREE consultations! Anxiety can be scary, especially when it shows up at the most inconvenient time. I like to help clients feel empowered to deal with their anxiety. I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Exposure Response Prevention.”

About Me

Anxiety can feel truly disruptive, especially when it unexpectedly impacts your daily life. I help clients feel empowered to navigate these challenges, offering practical ways forward. We explore evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. This equips you with lasting tools, allowing you to confidently deal with anxiety and reclaim your peace.

Approach

When anxiety arrives uninvited, I guide sessions toward small, doable experiments that build confidence. In the Aliso Viejo office or via secure telehealth, English and Farsi speakers experience steady pacing and practical check-ins between meetings. We track patterns with brief in-session exercises, try gentle exposures with compassionate coaching, and shape short, manageable plans to practice between sessions. Adolescents, adults, and families who prefer clear steps and steady progress often find this hands-on, paced approach helpful.
