About Froogh

Froogh Vakili-Khatibloo is a Licensed professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio with 20 years of clinical experience. She speaks English and Persian and offers care for adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship struggles, grief, trauma, and related concerns. Her work is practical and goal-oriented, focusing on what someone needs right now and how to take the next steps.

She combines evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness and motivational interviewing.

Background and approach

That means sessions often include noticing unhelpful thinking, practicing small behavior changes, and setting clear, achievable goals. She also uses trauma-focused tools when loss or past harm are part of the problem. Froogh brings harm-reduction experience to substance-related concerns and supports people wherever they are in change.

She also offers help with career setbacks, workplace issues, and figuring next steps after job transitions. Her style is direct but warm, aimed at helping people get unstuck and build practical skills. She works with individuals and couples and offers clinical supervision and consultation for unlicensed professionals and students.

Froogh is listed with multiple insurance panels, EAP plans, Medicare, Medicaid, and the Bureau of Workers' Compensation in Ohio. Sessions can be held in English or Persian and international clients may be accepted. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to the provided process.

Approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. In practice that often looks like identifying what matters most and building small steps that move toward those priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by practicing new skills between sessions, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotional responses in relationships and learning new ways to connect and communicate with partners.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about what feels most useful and tailor methods based on goals, comfort, and progress. It is common to combine techniques over time until a workable plan is found.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy schedules and different needs. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments, revisit tools between sessions, and stay connected when travel or timing is a barrier. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, or EFT to remote work so therapy stays focused and practical.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
