About Seda

Seda Terzyan is a California psychologist who helps people who are feeling stuck, anxious, or low on confidence. She focuses on building clearer goals and small steps so everyday life feels more manageable. Seda writes in a direct, calm way and encourages people to notice what matters most to them.

She draws on ten years of professional experience working with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self esteem struggles, and depression. Her approach emphasizes practical tools people can use between sessions, along with moments of reflection so choices feel more purposeful.

In sessions Seda aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be named without judgment. She uses a mix of strategies to help people change unhelpful patterns, notice what they care about, and take actions that align with their values. Expect clear, step-by-step discussions and skill practice during appointments.

Seda also addresses related issues such as attachment difficulties, guilt and shame, chronic illness and pain, obsessive thoughts, panic, postpartum challenges, and questions about life purpose. She tailors conversations to the individual and focuses on what will move them forward between appointments.

If someone is ready to begin, Seda invites them to take the first step and complete a short questionnaire to match with her. From there scheduling is arranged based on her availability and the client’s needs.

How Seda tailors online work with ACT and CBT

Seda uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters and take action even when feelings are hard. ACT focuses on values, small steps, and learning to live with difficult thoughts rather than battling them head on.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. CBT gives concrete strategies for reducing anxiety, improving mood, and addressing unhelpful habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Seda will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process can include trying techniques in session and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online options should be confirmed before booking because specific formats are not listed in the biography. Many clients find remote sessions easier to fit into busy days, need less travel time, or prefer a shorter check-in by audio when schedules are tight. Discuss scheduling and format choices during the initial match so sessions can be arranged to fit regular life.
