Seda Terzyan

Seda Terzyan is a California psychologist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and low self-esteem. She speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable. Seda acknowledges that beginning therapy takes courage and encourages people who are considering help to feel seen in that moment.

She brings ten years of experience working with depression and related concerns. Sessions focus on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. Seda uses practical tools drawn from mindfulness, acceptance work, cognitive strategies, and solution-focused techniques to address day-to-day struggles.

In sessions, she helps people notice what matters to them and take small, achievable steps toward those priorities. That can mean practicing noticing thoughts without getting overwhelmed, testing a new behavior, or trying short skills that reduce anxiety in the moment. The pace is set by the client and the therapist works collaboratively to adjust goals.

Seda also supports people dealing with complex issues such as attachment concerns, chronic pain or illness, guilt and shame, and post-traumatic stress. She attends to how emotional patterns affect daily life and relationships, and helps identify concrete ways to change what isn’t working.

Practical matters such as scheduling and how sessions fit into a person’s life are part of the conversation. People who want to start are guided through a brief matching and scheduling process to connect with her and set the first appointment.

How mindfulness and practical therapies translate online

Seda often draws on Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice thoughts and sensations without judgment. That approach teaches simple attention practices and gentle awareness exercises that can reduce reactivity and ease stress in daily life.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which combines noticing inner experience with clarifying personal values and taking small committed steps. ACT can be useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and situations where someone feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another common approach she uses to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of responding; CBT often focuses on short, actionable strategies for symptom relief.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills in real-life situations and then discuss what happened with the therapist.
