About Shahla
Shahla Raboubi is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 29 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and anger-related issues. Sessions are offered in English and Persian.
Raboubi adapts her method to the person in front of her. She leans on cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-based ideas, emotionally-focused work, and narrative and existential approaches depending on the client's needs. That means sessions can include looking at patterns of thought, identifying relationship dynamics, and telling the story of how problems developed.
Her background spans community mental health and private practice. She holds masters-level training in marriage and family therapy and applied psychology, and has pursued PhD studies in clinical psychology. Those settings shaped a practical style that addresses life stressors as well as deeper trauma and grief.
In work on anger and control issues she helps people notice triggers, track what happens before and after an outburst, and test new responses in everyday life. For parenting or blended family concerns she focuses on communication problems and attachment issues that affect how people relate to each other.
Raboubi uses CBT tools alongside client-centered listening and emotion-focused techniques to address addictions, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and self-esteem struggles. Her approach aims to clarify what is getting in the way and practice different behaviors outside sessions.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The practice notes that cost varies with location and that subscriptions can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns of relating and how early bonds shape current reactions. Online sessions can use conversations to map those patterns and practice different responses to conflict or separation concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts, behaviors, and routines that keep problems active. In virtual sessions clients and therapist can set concrete goals, try small experiments between meetings, and review what did or did not work.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name feelings that drive reactions in relationships. This approach is useful when anger or intimacy-related issues are tied to unmet needs or attachment fears.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, test approaches, and adjust plans together based on what fits the client's needs and preferences.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit appointments into work breaks, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss scheduling and format details during the initial matching and intake steps so sessions can be arranged to match everyday life.
