As a licensed therapist in Ohio, I help adults navigate the complex emotions and transitions that come with modern life. My approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and collaboration — creating a space where you can reflect, heal, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence. I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship stress, burnout, and major life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy during times of change — whether that’s navigating career shifts, redefining relationships, or rediscovering who they are after loss, separation, or burnout. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, I work with you to uncover patterns, strengthen resilience, and build practical tools for lasting growth. My style integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with strength-based and solution-focused approaches, always tailored to your unique needs and goals. With an extensive background in clinical practice, I bring both expertise and genuine care to every session. My goal is to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change — not just in how you cope, but in how you thrive.

My name is Froogh Khatibloo and I am a Licensed professional Clinical Counselor with over 20-years of experience providing psychotherapy/counseling, harm reduction services for adolescents and adults in State of Ohio and I am happy to share the wealth of knowledge I have gained during my decades in community mental health. I am currently listed as network providers of multiple health insurance company panels as well as EAP plans, Medicare, Medicaid, and Bureau of Workers Compensations. I offer therapy for individuals or couples that are experiencing life transition and enjoy the challenge of working with wide range of people and their concerns. I do however, have some specific interest and areas of expertise. I am trained in and practiced from harm reduction perspective, meeting people where they are at their struggle with alcohol and substance abuse concerns and helping them set their goals for change. I blend cognitive behavioral technique, interpersonal therapy, and mindfulness practice to address depression, anxiety, and mood disorders with a exploitation of the underlying cause of distress. I prioritize creating safe spaces where survivors access their natural resilience promote healing to recover from trauma and loss. I use motivational interviewing techniques to help people get unstuck from the patterns that trouble them most and make desired changes in their lives to change their habit and setting their goals. I help people with employment and career consultation to recover from job loss, change careers, deal with workplace, apply for disability, and address creative blocks. I provide an accepting space for discovery in which people can explore their identity by learning who they are, where they are going, and who they want to be. I teach interpersonal skills and copying tools to help people to learn anger management and conflict resolution, so that they can communicate assertively and improve their relationships. I welcome everybody and I am particularly interested in inviting those who may not feel as comfortable in all treatment spaces: members of LGBT communities, people wanting to talk about size acceptance, people of color, and members of marginalized groups. Additionally, I am able to provide clinical supervision for unlicensed mental health professionals, graduate students, and consultation for peers seeking additional assistance.
