Approaches for Online Therapy and How They Help

Dr. Mirfat Addi draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed actions toward a more meaningful life, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with change.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical approach that identifies unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches skills to change reactions and behaviors. CBT is commonly applied to stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and many everyday challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Addi works collaboratively with each person to explore what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing clients to choose formats that suit their schedules and comfort. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access licensed professionals from different locations, and integrate therapy into busy lives.
