A Clearer Lens for a Better You

Rahaf Saghir Najjar, MSW, RSW - Virtual Therapist

Hello, I’m Rahaf! As a Registered Social Worker in good standing with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers [OCSWSSW] and an active member of the Ontario Association of Social Workers [OASW], I am passionate about delivering compassionate, evidence-based therapy to individuals seeking meaningful change.

With over six years of experiences within mental health, crisis intervention, and therapeutic care, I specialize in supporting individuals facing anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, and life transitions. My approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, and intersectional, ensuring that each person’s unique identity and experiences are honored in a safe, non-judgmental space.

I integrate evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Narrative Therapy (NT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to tailor our sessions to your specific needs.

As a tech-savvy clinician, my background in telehealth case management and virtual therapy ensures seamless, accessible, and confidential support—wherever you are. I also have advanced research and evaluation expertise, strengthening my ability to provide informed, data-driven care.

Let’s work together to navigate challenges and foster resilience on your journey toward healing.

Therapy Modalities Utilized

  • Acceptance & Commitment Therapy

    A mindfulness-based approach that helps individuals embrace their thoughts and emotions rather than fighting or avoiding them. By focusing on values-driven actions, people are empowered to build psychological flexibility and lead a more meaningful life.

  • Cognitive Behavior Therapy

    A goal-oriented, evidence-based approach that helps individuals identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. By developing healthier coping strategies, people are empowered to manage stress, improve emotional wellbeing, and create lasting positive change.

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy

    A structured, evidence-based approach that combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness to help individuals manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and develop distress tolerance skills. It is now widely utilized to support emotional regulation and resilience within various mental health challenges.

  • Behavior Activation

    An evidence-based therapy that helps individuals overcome depression by increasing engagement in meaningful and rewarding activities. By breaking patterns of avoidance and reinforcing positive behaviors, this approach fosters motivation, improves mood, and enhances overall wellbeing.

  • Exposure Therapy

    A structured, evidence-based approach that helps individuals gradually face feared situations, thoughts, or memories in a safe and controlled manner. By reducing avoidance and building resilience, it empowers individuals to manage anxiety, PTSD, and phobias more effectively.

  • Internal Family Systems

    A transformative, evidence-based therapy that helps individuals understand and heal their inner world by exploring different "parts" of the Self. By fostering self-compassion and balance, this approach promotes deep emotional healing and greater psychological wellbeing.

  • Solution-Focused Brief Therapy

    A goal-oriented, strengths-based approach that helps individuals create positive change by focusing on solutions rather than problems. Through collaborative conversations, clients are empowered to build on their existing strengths and envision practical steps toward their desired future.

  • Motivational Interviewing

    A collaborative, person-centered approach that helps individuals explore and resolve ambivalence toward change. By fostering intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy, clients are empowered to make meaningful, lasting changes in their lives.

  • Narrative Therapy

    A collaborative approach that views individuals as the authors of their own stories, helping them reframe and rewrite their narratives in empowering ways. By exploring the impact of societal and personal influences, this approach fosters self-understanding and promotes positive transformation.
