About Froogh
Froogh Vakili-Khatibloo is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio with 20 years of experience. She welcomes people who are feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, grief, or life transitions and wants to help them move forward in practical ways.
She uses a harm reduction approach for substance concerns, meeting people where they are and helping them set realistic goals. Sessions often include cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness exercises to ease mood difficulties and reduce anxiety. Motivational interviewing is used to help clients find the motivation to change habits that cause harm.
Froogh offers support for trauma recovery and helps people regain strength after loss or abuse. She blends interpersonal work and emotion-focused ideas to improve how people relate to others and manage conflict. Coaching around career disruption, job loss, and workplace stress is also part of her practice.
She provides a respectful, accepting space for identity exploration, including work with people from LGBT communities and other marginalized groups. Froogh teaches practical skills like anger management, assertive communication, and problem solving to help clients handle everyday challenges.
In addition to therapy, she offers clinical supervision and consultation for unlicensed mental health professionals and graduate students. People can expect straightforward guidance aimed at clear, achievable steps toward their goals.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Froogh often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). ACT focuses on helping people clarify values and take actions that match those values, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. CBT teaches practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can ease anxiety and depression symptoms.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past, then suggest methods to try. Sessions may combine approaches so work stays relevant to the client's needs.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how she is meeting with clients. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and can reduce travel time or scheduling friction. It also allows for shorter check-ins when that suits a client's routine and can make ongoing homework and mindfulness practice easier to maintain between sessions.
