Practitioner record · Checked 9 Oct 2026
Zarina Graham has been in practice 4 years and is licensed in South Carolina. Zarina lists stress, Anxiety, relationship issues and family conflicts among 15 subjects on the BetterHelp roster.
Everything below is either quoted from Zarina's own BetterHelp listing, taken from public licensing records, or written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such. Nothing here is an availability promise, a review, or a rating.
01 · Who Zarina works with
Zarina lists 5 specialisms and 10 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Zarina chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Zarina's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
Do you love your child deeply, but feel like you’re always getting it wrong? You try to connect, but it keeps turning into tension, distance, or guilt. Does your child struggle with low confidence and a lack of independence? Many of the families I work with are made up of loving but burnt-out parents who feel disconnected from their child - and children who are struggling to feel understood. I’m passionate about helping families who want to reconnect but feel stuck. My approach combines evidence-based methods with a deep respect for each family’s unique cultural background, values, and traditions..
Having lived in multiple countries-including Uzbekistan, Egypt, Pakistan, and Japan I bring a deep respect for cultural differences and the unique experiences of every family. I offer therapy in English and Russian and am especially passionate about helping individuals navigate life transitions, mood-related concerns, and cultural identity.
I take time to understand the cultural context you live in and adapt my work to honor your perspectives, strengths, and ways of relating. When helpful, I incorporate play and art practices into therapy, creating a space that feels safe, engaging, and inviting for children to express themselves freely.
Whether I work with you, your child, or both, my goal is to help your family communicate more effectively, reduce tension, and strengthen bonds. Parenting doesn’t have to feel like a struggle - together we can build a more connected home where everyone feels heard and valued. If this is the family therapy you’re looking for, I welcome you to get in touch!

03 · What happens next
Zarina practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Zarina's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Zarina at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Zarina is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Zarina.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Zarina actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Zarina's - Zarina has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

Zarina's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
