About Faryal

Faryal Choudry, LCSW, supports people managing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship challenges, grief, and struggles with self-esteem.

Background and approach

With five years of clinical experience based in Florida, she draws on a variety of therapeutic tools to help clients explore their thoughts and feelings, build resilience, and move toward more satisfying patterns of living.

Her practice also addresses related concerns such as abandonment and attachment issues, communication problems, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and difficulties around commitment and separation. She emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental environment where clients can speak openly and safely.

Treatment blends collaborative, client-centered care with evidence-informed methods including Internal Family Systems, cognitive behavioral techniques, and skills-based approaches to emotion regulation. Faryal frames therapy as a process of empowerment and practical change, guiding clients through grief, life transitions, and persistent worries while helping them strengthen self-confidence and coping skills.

She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches in Remote Care

Faryal uses Internal Family Systems and Attachment-Based and client-centered ways of working to help clients understand internal conflicts, relational patterns, and core needs. Internal Family Systems helps people notice and dialogue with different parts of themselves to reduce inner conflict and improve emotional balance, which can be useful for anxiety, self-esteem, and addiction-related concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape expectations and coping, supporting work on communication problems, intimacy worries, and abandonment-related fears. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration so clients can explore goals and make choices at their own pace.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts strategies over time rather than committing to a single path from the outset.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to connect from different locations. These options support continuing work on emotion regulation, relationship patterns, grief, and habit change by allowing consistent, timely contact and varied formats for processing and skill practice.
