Dr. Mirfat Addi, LPC - Therapist in Louisiana

About Mirfat

Dr. Mirfat Addi greets people who are worried about family and parenting challenges with calm, straightforward support. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship and family difficulties.

Her approach is direct and respectful, and she aims to make first steps feel doable for families seeking guidance. She focuses on practical conversations that address everyday problems. That can mean talking through parenting decisions, coping strategies for depression or bipolar mood changes, or ways to handle anger and difficult family conversations.

Background and approach

She adjusts the plan to fit each person’s needs rather than using one fixed method. Dr. Addi draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

She also uses client-centered methods to build an empathetic space where people feel heard. Mindfulness and acceptance strategies are added when helpful for stress and anxiety. With six years of experience practicing in Louisiana, she brings steady experience to families facing transitions, addiction concerns, trauma, or separation.

She works in both English and Arabic to lower language barriers for some clients. Sessions are offered through online formats, including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. Her style is collaborative - she listens first, then recommends steps that meet the family’s goals and rhythm.

How these approaches guide online family support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them. It focuses on values and small meaningful actions, which can help with anxiety, grief, and coping during family transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at patterns of thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It offers clear steps and exercises people can try between sessions to reduce anxiety, depression, or unhelpful reactions in relationships.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person or family’s needs. The therapist provides empathy and listening first, then works with clients to set goals that feel relevant and manageable.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Addi will collaborate with each person or family to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts methods over time based on what helps.

Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make scheduling easier for busy families. These options let people connect from home, continue work while traveling, or check in between sessions. The variety of formats supports flexible pacing and keeps therapy accessible to more households.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
