Farhat Hasan, LPC

Farhat Hasan is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas who uses clear, practical methods to help people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and life transitions. She draws on 17 years of counseling experience in schools, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and group homes. She speaks English and Bengali and has worked with a wide range of backgrounds and cultures.

Her approach centers on listening first and helping people identify strengths they can use right away. She uses client-centered methods to build understanding and then adds techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused so progress can be tracked over time.

Farhat's background includes work in residential drug rehabilitation, inpatient and outpatient settings, and community programs. That variety shaped a practical style that focuses on day-to-day coping skills as well as deeper patterns that affect mood, relationships, and behavior. She has experience addressing ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and parenting concerns.

Clients can expect straightforward guidance, encouragement, and occasional challenges to help overcome obstacles. She helps people plan concrete steps and checks in on how those steps are working. The goal is steady progress toward personal goals, not quick fixes.

Her training includes a Master of Education in Counseling and an Educational Specialist degree in Counseling. Farhat meets people where they are and supports them through the process of change with respect and practical tools.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Farhat uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and problem-focused, which can make it useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and coping skills training. She also uses an attachment-based perspective to look at how early relationships affect current patterns in intimacy and communication; that approach helps people understand relational triggers and build healthier connections.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Farhat works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. That means sessions can mix structured CBT exercises with more open, client-centered conversations when needed.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to work together. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit quick check-ins or shorter exchanges during a busy week. These formats make it easier to keep continuity of care and to practice skills in everyday life.
