Dr. Mirfat Addi , LPC

Dr. Mirfat Addi is a Licensed Professional Counselor with a doctoral degree in the counseling field who brings six years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on supporting people navigating stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, relationship and family conflicts, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, and other life transitions. Her approach emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while adapting conversations and treatment plans to each person’s individual needs.

Dr. Addi holds an LPC - a Licensed Professional Counselor credential that authorizes clinical practice in Louisiana - and she also has a PhD in counseling, a research and clinical doctorate indicating advanced training in the field. She combines evidence-based methods with a client-centered stance, meeting clients where they are and collaborating to set goals and identify practical steps forward.

Beginning therapy can feel like a big step, and Dr. Addi recognizes the courage it takes to start. She aims to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment and to tailor therapeutic strategies so they fit each person’s values, circumstances, and goals, helping clients build skills to manage symptoms and cope more effectively with life’s challenges.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Dr. Mirfat Addi frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and take committed action toward a meaningful life. ACT encourages people to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on behaviors that align with what matters to them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with change.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured approach that identifies and shifts unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often effective for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, obsessive thoughts, and stress by building practical skills and problem solving.

Finally, Dr. Addi applies Client-Centered Therapy principles, emphasizing empathy, respect, and collaboration so clients feel heard and supported as they explore goals and challenges. Finding the right approach is part of the work together - she collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit counseling into a busy life or to connect from another location. These options allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care and adapt the format to what feels most helpful.
