About Arras

Arras Khaledi is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas who supports people facing a wide range of emotional and life challenges.

Background and approach

He works with concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, bipolar disorder, and ADHD, and also addresses relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and family dynamics, eating and sleeping problems, and difficulties tied to major life transitions. His approach integrates practical strategies and a client-centered ethic to help people develop greater self-understanding and resilience.

Drawing on five years of clinical experience, Arras blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and motivational techniques to help clients identify unhelpful patterns and build values-driven action. He aims to create a collaborative, compassionate environment where clients can explore feelings, clarify goals, and practice skills that support lasting change.

He frames therapy as a process of growth rather than a quick fix, emphasizing small, achievable steps toward improved emotional wellbeing. Arras describes his work as holistic and individualized, adapting methods to each person's needs and life context.

He encourages clients who are struggling with communication problems, codependency, abandonment concerns, dissociation, or transitions such as divorce to engage in focused, skill-based work that promotes insight, coping, and clearer decision making.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Access



Arras commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in his work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to improve daily functioning. ACT emphasizes clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility, helping people face difficult emotions while making meaningful changes aligned with what matters most.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. He works with clients to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting strategies over time as needs evolve. This shared decision-making helps tailor interventions to each person's priorities and strengths.

Online sessions are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make therapy more flexible for busy schedules or people in different parts of Texas. These formats support consistent engagement, allow shorter check-ins or longer sessions as needed, and make it easier to practice skills between meetings while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional.
