Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care
Dr. Mariam Sophia Faris draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be practical and engaging in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and shifting everyday behaviors that keep stress and anxiety going, which can be especially useful when someone wants clear, structured strategies between sessions.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most to them. It can support people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or discouraged during life changes by building psychological flexibility and values-based action. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) can also be helpful for relationship and intimacy concerns by clarifying emotional needs and improving connection and communication patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Faris works collaboratively, adjusting the focus based on a client’s needs, goals, and preferences, and integrating tools in a way that feels workable and supportive.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to stay consistent with therapy, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and get support in the format that best matches day-to-day life.
