About
Nikoo Arbabsiyar is a registered counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) and has over five years of experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, trauma, and other life challenges. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Clinical Psychology and a Master’s degree in General Psychology, and she is currently a PhD student researching how virtual reality technology may support recovery after severe psychological trauma. This academic focus informs her commitment to using up-to-date, evidence-based methods in her work.
Nikoo’s primary therapeutic approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured, practical method that helps people notice unhelpful patterns in thoughts and behaviors and develop more effective coping strategies. Depending on each person’s needs, she may also draw on mindfulness exercises, a strengths-based approach, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and compassion-focused therapy to support concerns such as stress, anger, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and post-traumatic stress.
She approaches therapy as a personalized process shaped by each individual’s story, experiences, and goals. Nikoo aims to offer a welcoming, non-judgmental space where clients can speak openly about what they are going through, feel understood, and explore meaningful steps toward greater self-understanding, more inner calm, and positive change.

Online Therapy Grounded in Practical Skills and Values
Nikoo Arbabsiyar draws from evidence-based approaches that translate well to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then practicing new strategies that can be applied to everyday situations, such as anxiety, stress, low mood, or anger. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) builds skills for making room for difficult thoughts and emotions while staying connected to personal values, which can be helpful during life changes, workplace pressures, or ongoing self-esteem concerns. She may also incorporate Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), which helps people better understand emotional responses and use them as guides for healthier communication and connection.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Nikoo works collaboratively with clients to clarify what they want from therapy, what has or has not helped before, and what feels most comfortable, then tailors sessions accordingly as goals evolve over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to stay consistent with support, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and access therapy in a format that matches each client’s preferences.
