About Zarina
Zarina Graham helps parents who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to support their child. She writes in plain terms and focuses on practical steps to reduce tension and rebuild connection. She identifies as a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, and works from South Carolina.
Zarina listens for what matters most in each home and sorts out small changes that make daily life calmer.
Background and approach
She pays attention to cultural background and personal values and adapts strategies to fit each family’s routines. That can mean coaching a parent on clear communication or helping a young person build confidence and independence. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and sometimes uses play or art-based activities to help children express themselves.
Those options are offered when they suit the child’s age and comfort level, and they are paired with straightforward parenting skills for caregivers. Zarina has four years of clinical experience and has lived in multiple countries, which she says shapes her respect for cultural differences. Sessions are conducted in English.
International clients are accepted. Her focus areas include stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting, and coping with life changes. She also addresses caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, life purpose, post-traumatic stress, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, social anxiety, women’s issues, and young adult issues.
Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life
Many of the techniques Zarina uses come from well-researched, practical methods. One common approach focuses on improving communication and problem-solving between caregivers and children by teaching clear, simple ways to listen, set limits, and repair moments of tension. This helps with everyday conflicts and rebuilding trust. Another approach uses play and art-based activities to give children nonverbal ways to show feelings. These activities help with low confidence, anxiety, and expressing difficult emotions without relying only on talk.Finding the right combination of methods is a team effort. Zarina will collaborate with each person to choose what feels most useful based on goals, needs, and how the family likes to interact. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress is made so the approach stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for face-to-face conversation and demonstrating skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text let families exchange brief updates or work through small problems between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules, caregiving demands, and people in different locations.
