About Faryal

Faryal Choudry is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, grief, and self-esteem concerns. She draws on five years of practice to guide straightforward conversations and practical steps.

Background and approach

Faryal aims to make beginning therapy less scary for people who are unsure where to start. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk about what matters most to them.

Sessions focus on understanding patterns, learning new skills, and trying small changes that can make life easier. The tone is warm and direct, with attention to immediate problems and longer-term goals.

Faryal uses approaches such as the Gottman Method, Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Client-Centered Therapy. She adapts these methods to fit what each person needs instead of using a single fixed plan.

That can mean practicing better communication, calming strategies, or problem-solving tools during sessions. She also works with issues connected to abandonment and attachment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, codependency, commitment worries, and communication problems.

Other areas she can address include eating and food-related issues, family conflict, divorce and separation, domestic violence, forgiveness, and challenges related to autism and Asperger Syndrome. Faryal is licensed in Florida as an LCSW.

She offers sessions in English and can meet with international clients. The focus is on helping people take realistic steps toward a more balanced life.

How her approaches work online

Faryal commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current reactions and connection needs. This approach can help people understand trust, closeness, and patterns that show up in relationships. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Client-Centered Therapy guides the tone of sessions by keeping the conversation focused on the person's experience and goals, with the therapist following what matters most to the client.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. She will ask about your concerns, goals, and what feels most helpful, and then adapt methods to match your needs. That collaborative process means tools and pace change as progress is made.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video lets people read facial cues and practice communication in real time. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing support between sessions and can help when someone prefers writing to talking. These formats make scheduling more flexible and reduce travel time while keeping the focus on practical change.
