She works with clients facing relationship or family tension, grief, trauma, anger, and self-esteem struggles. Dr. Addi speaks English and Arabic and has six years of professional experience as an LPC in Louisiana.

Her approach is practical and conversational. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods to help clients clarify values and build skills that fit their lives.

In sessions she emphasizes respectful, sensitive interaction. Conversations are tailored to each person’s situation and goals. Expect a mix of talking through problems, trying new coping strategies, and practicing small changes between meetings.

Dr. Addi has worked with people dealing with trauma and abuse, domestic violence, divorce and separation, and substance use issues. She also supports those facing obsessive or compulsive behaviors, personality concerns, social anxiety, and women's issues. Her experience includes helping clients cope with natural or human-caused disaster and abandonment-related distress.

She accepts international clients and offers multiple online formats. The first steps are completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session. Sessions are provided through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Dr. Addi commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thinking patterns that worsen mood or anxiety, then practice new ways of responding. CBT is often helpful for stress, anxiety, obsessions, and mood shifts. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and to choose actions that align with personal values.

Finding the right way of working is a team effort. The therapist will listen to goals and try methods that fit the person’s needs and preferences. Over a few sessions she will adjust strategies based on what helps most, and clients are invited to give feedback throughout the process.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people connect face-to-face without traveling. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit support into a busy day and to follow up between sessions. These options aim to make regular work on goals more flexible and achievable for different schedules and lifestyles.
