About Zhanna
Zhanna Cohen, LMHC, LPC, holds licenses in Florida and Connecticut and has 12 years of clinical experience. She works with relationship challenges, anger, career questions, depression, addictions, parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes. She uses the approaches she lists to guide sessions and helps people clarify goals and next steps.
Cohen favors a direct, conversational style. Sessions focus on identifying practical steps, building coping skills, and addressing patterns that keep people stuck. She uses dialogue to help clients see options and practice different responses to difficult situations.
Her background includes work with adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, family of origin issues, fatherhood issues, and gender dysphoria. She also addresses impulse control, hoarding, mood disorders, phobias, post-traumatic stress, and seasonal affective disorder. She lists coaching, forgiveness work, and self-love as part of her focus areas.
Cohen integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Existential Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. That mix is applied practically: examining thoughts and behaviors, learning emotion regulation skills, and using mindful awareness to reduce reactivity.
She offers services in English and Russian and accepts international clients. For people deciding whether to begin, she asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to get started.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the person's lead to clarify goals and values. It helps people feel understood and decide what they want to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is often used for depression, anxiety, and mood-related concerns by teaching concrete skills to change thinking and actions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical strategies for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. It can help people who struggle with intense emotions or impulsive behavior.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses options with each person and chooses methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That process is collaborative and may involve trying different techniques to see what fits best.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. These practical benefits help people maintain continuity of care and practice new skills in everyday settings.
