About Farhat
Farhat Hasan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 17 years of clinical experience. She communicates in English and Bengali. Her approach centers on listening first and then helping people find practical steps they can use right away.
She often helps clients manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Parents looking for support around parenting challenges, sleep or eating concerns, or changes in family roles can expect straightforward guidance and problem-solving.
Background and approach
She also works with issues like ADHD, addiction, grief, trauma, anger, and intimacy-related concerns. Farhat draws from client-centered and attachment-based ideas to build trust and understand each person’s history. She uses cognitive behavioral strategies to change patterns that cause distress.
When feelings about meaning or purpose appear, she brings in existential perspectives to help people clarify values and next steps. Her background includes counseling in schools, hospitals, residential drug rehabilitation centers, inpatient and outpatient clinics, and group homes. That variety has shaped a practical style focused on achievable goals and steady progress.
Sessions emphasize active listening, clear feedback, and simple tools clients can practice between meetings. Farhat works with adults from diverse backgrounds, including immigrant and international populations. She encourages clients to name priorities, try small changes, and check what is working.
If someone is ready to explore parenting concerns, relationship stress, or personal transitions, she offers experienced, down-to-earth support.

How attachment and cognitive approaches translate to online care
Farhat commonly draws on attachment-based ideas to help people understand patterns in close relationships. That work focuses on how early bonds shape emotional responses and helps people build more reliable ways of connecting. She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize listening and the client’s own goals, creating space for each person to set the pace.Cognitive behavioral techniques are added when unhelpful thoughts and behaviors need to change. Those strategies include identifying problematic thinking, testing assumptions, and trying small behavior shifts that reduce symptoms. Together these approaches address relationship dynamics, parenting concerns, anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions in a practical way.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options, try methods for a few sessions, and adjust based on what feels useful. Clients help set goals and track progress so the plan reflects their needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use eye contact and real-time conversation. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief updates, ongoing coaching, or more frequent touchpoints between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel schedules.
