Seda Terzyan

Seda Terzyan is a California psychologist (CA Psychologist 29251) with 10 years of clinical experience helping adults who feel stuck or uncertain about what comes next. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Seda also takes on concerns like life purpose, attachment issues, chronic illness or pain, and young-adult transitions.

In sessions she focuses on clear, practical steps. She talks through thoughts and feelings without judgment. Clients can expect direct discussion about goals and small experiments to try between meetings.

Seda uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and make values-based choices. She also draws on mindfulness practices to build moment-to-moment awareness, and solution-focused ideas to identify quick, concrete changes.

Her approach aims to break down larger problems into manageable pieces. Conversations often include identifying patterns, testing small changes, and tracking what helps. This can be useful when someone is coping with recurring worry, mood struggles, or uncertainty about relationships or work.

Seda’s experience includes work with trauma-related concerns, obsessive thoughts and behaviors, postpartum depression, and issues tied to chronic medical conditions. She asks practical questions about what matters now and what small next steps could look like. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How Seda’s approaches translate to online sessions

Seda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce worry and low mood. ACT helps people notice thoughts and feelings while taking actions that reflect their chosen values.

She also uses mindfulness practices to increase present-moment awareness and solution-focused techniques to spot immediate, practical changes. Each method is explained in simple terms during sessions so people can try skills between meetings and see what fits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Seda treats the choice of method as collaborative. She reviews a person’s goals, preferences, and responses to initial strategies and adjusts the plan together over time.

The biography does not list specific online formats. Please confirm what session options are offered before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt exercises and homework so they work well in remote sessions.
