About Scheherazade
Scheherazade Collins is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 12 years of clinical experience in California. She centers her work on the person in front of her, helping clients name what’s hard and build on their strengths. Her style aims to make therapy feel practical and focused on day-to-day changes.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy alongside cognitive and mindfulness-based tools to address stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and self-esteem issues. Scheherazade also brings skills from dialectical behavior techniques for emotional regulation and coping when feelings feel overwhelming.
Her background includes many years working with attention and performance concerns. She has clinical experience treating eating and food-related issues, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting stresses, and career transitions. She has also worked with people facing gender dysphoria, social anxiety, panic, phobias, pregnancy and childbirth related concerns, and early adult challenges.
Scheherazade has additional training and clinical work involving neurofeedback and stress management approaches. That experience informs her work with people seeking improved focus, mood stability, and peak performance in high-pressure fields. She draws on clients’ existing resources to build practical skills for daily life.
People who choose her can expect a collaborative approach. Sessions focus on clear goals, skill practice, and exploring what helps each person feel more capable. To begin, readers can use the site’s Start Therapy flow to match and schedule sessions.
How approaches like client-centered care and CBT translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping the client guide the work. It’s about building on what already helps you and shaping the work around your priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, panic, and mood difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking in on what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than imposing one fixed method.
To confirm practical session arrangements, please check the booking details before scheduling since session formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also make using worksheets, mindfulness practices, and skills coaching simpler between appointments. Talk with the therapist during scheduling to learn which session options are currently offered and to choose what works best for everyday life.
