About Seda

Seda Terzyan is a California psychologist who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and low self-esteem. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. Seda acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage and encourages people to notice that first step.

In sessions she aims to build an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. She uses tools drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new responses. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused steps are woven into conversations when they fit the client’s goals.

Seda has worked in the field for 10 years and brings that experience to common concerns like depression, panic, obsessive thoughts, and attachment issues. She also supports people coping with chronic pain, illness, traumatic brain injury, and somatization by addressing how these concerns affect mood and daily routines.

Practical goals guide the work - reducing anxiety, improving relationships, managing mood, and finding more self-compassion. Sessions often focus on small changes that add up over time. Seda partners with each person to set goals that feel meaningful and achievable.

People who want straightforward, skills-based work that still honors emotional experience may find Seda’s style fits well. She practices in California as CA Psychologist 29251 and offers therapy in English.

How Seda Uses ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness Online

Seda commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. ACT helps people name what matters and learn to act in line with those values even when thoughts or feelings are difficult. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test small behavior changes to improve mood and anxiety.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach short attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and increase focus. These practices can be especially useful for people coping with chronic pain, panic, or ongoing stress because they focus on noticing rather than fighting sensations.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past, then adjusts methods over time. This collaborative approach makes it easier to try a method and change course if needed.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoid being on camera when that feels uncomfortable. Licensed professionals can guide how to adapt exercises and homework so they work well in remote appointments.
