Seda Terzyan, CA Psychologist 29251

Seda Terzyan is a licensed psychologist in California with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. Seda aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space so people can say what they need to say and begin to feel understood.

In sessions she listens closely to each person's goals and day-to-day challenges. She uses practical methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new ways of responding, and take steps that match their values. Conversations are straightforward and paced to each person’s comfort level.

Seda draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address symptoms like panic, obsessive thinking, and mood instability. She also incorporates mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to help with chronic pain, somatization, and life-purpose questions.

Clients often work on building self-compassion, repairing attachment stresses, and coping with guilt or shame. Seda also has experience supporting people after childbirth and those facing traumatic brain injury-related challenges. She keeps sessions practical, aiming for tools people can use between meetings.

To begin, the site’s intake asks a few questions and matches people with a therapist. Seda encourages the small step of starting the process and offers collaboration on realistic goals and gradual change.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Seda uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values. ACT often focuses on accepting difficult thoughts while still moving forward in meaningful ways.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change thought and behavior patterns that keep anxiety, panic, and low mood in place. CBT sessions often include simple practice tasks and short skills to try between meetings.

Finding the right approach is treated as a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try techniques together, and adjust the plan as needed so methods fit the person’s life and needs.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises or behavioral tools in the moment at home or during breaks. Confirm how sessions are scheduled and any technical details when you sign up so you know what to expect.
