Dr. Mariam Sophia Faris, NY Psychologist 026905

Dr. Mariam Sophia Faris helps people facing relationship strains, intimacy-related concerns, low self-esteem, stress, and anxiety. She also supports those coping with major life changes and issues linked to aging and geriatric concerns. Dr. Faris practices in New York and works in both English and Spanish.

She approaches therapy as a collaborative process. She believes people know their story and brings a calm, supportive presence to help them notice strengths and next steps. Sessions focus on practical skills and small, achievable changes rather than lengthy theory.

Her year-to-year experience adds up to a decade of clinical work. That background includes assisting people dealing with attachment and abandonment worries, communication problems, codependency, commitment anxiety, and blended family stress. She has also worked with concerns related to first responder roles and recovery after disasters.

In sessions she draws on several well-known methods. That includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thought patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and action, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy for relationship-focused work. She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and client-centered approaches when helpful.

Dr. Faris is licensed as a New York Psychologist 026905. Her practice emphasizes straightforward conversation, goal-oriented steps, and building everyday skills to reduce distress. To begin, people follow a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name what matters most and take small actions toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaching practical strategies to change them. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, and confidence challenges. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on patterns in close relationships and helps partners or individuals notice and shift the emotional responses that keep them stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist works together with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort. That choice can shift as a person makes progress or faces new challenges.
