About

Ebrahim Oshni Alvandi is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of cognitive science, mental health, and digital communication technologies. His primary research focus is on understanding how emotional agency—the capacity to experience and manage emotions—operates within the context of telecounselling and remote psychotherapy. In his most cited work, "Emotional Agency in Telecounselling: A Cognitive Model" (2017, 3 citations), Oshni Alvandi proposes a novel cognitive framework that explains how clients and therapists navigate emotional expression and regulation when separated by distance. This model addresses a critical gap in the literature: while telecounselling has proven effective and satisfying, the mechanisms underlying emotional interaction in non-face-to-face settings remain poorly understood. By theorizing how emotional agency is reconfigured in remote contexts, Oshni Alvandi’s contribution helps practitioners design more effective digital interventions. His work is particularly relevant as mental health services increasingly shift online, offering a foundational perspective for researchers and clinicians seeking to optimize therapeutic outcomes in telepractice environments.
