How Faizah works
Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to help people stay grounded during stress and anxiety. Motivational interviewing is used when change feels difficult or uncertain. Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue.
She also focuses on questions about identity and LGBT experiences, gender dysphoria, family of origin issues, and multicultural concerns. Sessions can cover communication problems, divorce and separation, coping with life changes, self-harm thoughts, postpartum depression, and rebuilding self-esteem. Faizah aims to help people find clearer direction, restore safety in daily life, and practice new ways of relating to themselves and others.
She provides services in English and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability.

Online support options
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist creates space for someone to name goals and decide what matters most, which helps when life feels confusing or overwhelming.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills for anxiety, depression, and mood challenges.
Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers tools to manage intense emotions and improve relationships. It includes skills for regulating feelings, tolerating distress, and communicating more effectively.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust methods as work progresses. That collaborative process helps make sessions feel useful from the start.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone calls can fit a short check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can make it easier to send updates between sessions or get brief support without a full appointment. These options offer flexibility so people can fit therapy into busy or changing schedules.
