About Mirfat
Dr. Mirfat Addi is a licensed professional counselor who works with people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and parenting strain. She speaks English and Arabic and brings a calm, respectful presence to sessions.
Her style is practical and direct, aimed at helping parents and individuals find clearer ways to cope. She frames therapy as a collaborative process. Sessions focus on identifying what is most important to you, then building small, achievable steps toward those goals.
Background and approach
Dr. Addi uses tools from cognitive behavioral strategies and acceptance-based methods to help people change unhelpful patterns and respond differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. Her background includes a PhD in counseling and six years of professional experience working with concerns such as trauma, depression, relationship and family tensions, and substance use.
She adapts conversations and plans to each person's situation and pace. Motivation and practical problem-solving are often part of the work. In sessions she emphasizes compassion and clear communication.
Parents can expect help managing the emotional demands of caregiving and setting boundaries that support family life. People facing major life shifts or persistent mood challenges receive pragmatic coping strategies and mindfulness exercises to use between meetings. Dr.
Addi accepts international clients and offers multiple remote session formats. She encourages a first step of answering a short matching questionnaire so she can learn your situation and preferences before scheduling.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small committed steps toward them while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and parenting challenges where getting stuck on worries makes action harder.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with real-life experiments. This approach helps with mood, anxiety, and problems like compulsive behaviors by teaching practical skills to shift thoughts and behaviors.
Client-centered work centers the conversation on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens without judgment and helps people find their own answers, which is useful when life changes or relationship strain leave someone uncertain about the next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match techniques to a person's goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for conversation that benefits from facial cues, phone requires less bandwidth, live chat can work for quick check-ins, and messaging lets people share thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and changing routines.
