Lida Far

Mrs Lida Far Lida

Licensed Professional Counselor

“An experienced, professional and compassionate Licensed Professional Counselor with experience related to Anxiety, Stress, Depression.”

About Me

Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or depression is a common experience. I offer a compassionate and professional space where we can gently explore these feelings. Together, we will work to understand their roots and develop practical ways to manage them. My aim is to help you build resilience and find clearer paths forward. Each session provides tools you can apply in your daily life.

Approach

When anxiety, stress, or depression crowd daily life, I guide a steady, practical process that balances immediate relief with longer-term change. In Ashburn and online, including sessions in Farsi, we work at a comfortable pace—sometimes focused skill practice, sometimes deeper pattern exploration—so each session feels purposeful and manageable. You'll leave with simple tools, brief between-session exercises, and gentle check-ins that reinforce progress while we address relationships, self-worth, and transitions. People navigating cultural shifts, divorce, or burnout often find this steady, collaborative rhythm helpful.
