About Mirfat
Dr. Mirfat Addi greets people with a calm and practical approach. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on anxiety, stress, and life transitions.
Her tone is direct and respectful, and she aims to make the first steps feel doable for someone who is nervous or unsure. She works with individuals facing anxiety, depression, substance concerns, relationship strain, grief, trauma, parenting challenges, and anger. She also addresses issues like body image, obsessive thoughts, and adjustment after separation or disaster.
Background and approach
Sessions are offered in English and Arabic to meet different language needs. Her style centers on collaboration. She listens first, then shapes a plan that fits each person's goals and daily life.
Conversations are practical and goal-focused rather than long on jargon. Dr. Addi draws from methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, client-centered care, and motivational interviewing.
These approaches help people notice difficult thoughts, try small changes, and build routines that support coping. She has six years of professional experience in counseling work across Louisiana. Her work emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and clear steps people can try between sessions.
The goal is steady progress toward feeling more in control and able to manage everyday challenges. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step connect people with her for the right format and time.
Approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It focuses on small, meaningful steps rather than trying to control every thought. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets unhelpful thinking and teaches concrete skills to change behavior and reduce anxiety. It often uses short exercises and homework between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention to the present moment and breathing or body practices to manage stress and reactivity.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss different methods, and try what fits your goals and preferences. Together you can adjust the plan over time based on what feels most helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible options. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option that uses less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging can work for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines while keeping practical continuity between appointments.
