01About Samayra
Samayra Tavakoli is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and issues from trauma or relationship strain. She works with individuals who are ready to be active in their care and try new ways of managing hard feelings. She keeps sessions direct and practical.
Samayra asks clear questions and helps clients set concrete steps to try between meetings. She encourages small, achievable changes that add up over time.
Background and approach
Her experience includes supporting people with self-esteem and body image concerns, eating issues, career stress, and anger. She also assists those dealing with grief, separation, and the long-term effects of abuse. Samayra lists additional focus areas such as attachment concerns, codependency, and coping with co-occurring conditions.
Samayra blends several well-known counseling methods to meet each person's needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavior techniques, client-centered skills, and elements of dialectical and attachment-based approaches. That mix helps clients build new skills, notice unhelpful patterns, and clarify values.
Outside clinical work she teaches behavioral health science and draws on that classroom experience to stay current with practical methods. Samayra has worked in the field for 13 years and practices in Oklahoma as an LPC.

04Online support
How these approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on spotting what truly matters to a person and taking small steps toward those values while learning to sit with uncomfortable feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation by turning values into action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches clear strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for stress, mood concerns, and anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether ACT, CBT, attachment-based ideas, or a blend makes the most sense for progress.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match practical needs. Video is useful for a full session when visual cues matter, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can support quick check-ins or flexible, ongoing contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between appointments.
