About Sr.
Dr. Sr. Marian Mikhail is a licensed mental health counselor with seven years of clinical experience.
She practices in Pennsylvania and speaks English and Arabic. Her work often focuses on stress and anxiety, grief, self-esteem, and life changes. She uses straightforward, goal-oriented methods to help people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.
Sessions focus on practical steps that can be tried between meetings. She also supports people working through career concerns, low mood, and questions about life purpose.
Background and approach
Her training includes graduate study in pastoral counseling and clinical pastoral work, and she holds LMHC and LPC credentials. Dr. Mikhail draws on both cognitive and acceptance-based methods to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values.
In conversations she aims to be respectful and compassionate while keeping the work focused. She helps people break big problems into manageable steps and build habits that reduce stress and anxiety over time. Communication skills and self-care strategies are common topics in sessions.
Therapy can include short-term solution-focused work or longer attention to grief, identity, and self-worth. Appointments are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging, making it possible to fit counseling into a busy schedule. People who prefer Arabic conversations can request sessions in that language.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling follow the Start Therapy process. That helps pair practical needs with a clear plan and workable next steps.
How ACT, CBT, and Solution-Focused Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings while focusing on actions that match their values. It supports work on anxiety, stress, and finding a clearer sense of purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking and teaches practical skills to reduce worry and low mood through behavior changes and thought work. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, immediate changes and concrete goals to get unstuck and move forward quickly.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their needs and goals, adjusting the plan as progress is made. Sessions blend skill practice, problem solving, and values-driven planning so the person driving change feels supported.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone calls can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Text and chat are helpful for quick check-ins, short skill coaching, and keeping momentum between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life and maintain ongoing progress.
