About Froogh
Froogh Vakili-Khatibloo is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are juggling stress, parenting demands, relationship trouble, mood shifts, or substance concerns. She speaks English and Persian and practices in Ohio while also working with international clients.
Her style is down-to-earth and practical. She blends cognitive behavioral tools with mindfulness and client-centered listening to help people notice patterns and try new behaviors. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help clients clarify values and set achievable goals.
Background and approach
Froogh has long experience supporting people through trauma, grief, and major life changes. She uses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing when trauma work is needed and includes motivational interviewing to help clients move past stuck habits. Harm reduction is part of her approach when addressing substance use concerns so clients can set realistic steps toward change.
She also helps with career setbacks, workplace problems, and questions about identity. She teaches communication and anger-management skills so people can handle conflict more confidently. Parenting is listed among her focus areas, and she offers practical strategies parents can use between sessions.
In addition to therapy, Froogh provides clinical supervision and peer consultation. Her Ohio license is LPCC, short for Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. That credential is part of her two decades of community mental health work.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thinking patterns that keep problems going and practicing small behavior changes to alter mood and outcomes. That approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or anger concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on understanding feelings and improving emotional connection in close relationships; it can help people navigate intimacy difficulties and communication problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they try techniques, adjust as needed, and build practical skills that clients can use between sessions.
Online therapy with this clinician is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is desired. Live chat and text-based messaging give flexible, written ways to process thoughts between live appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work, and everyday life.
