About Mariam
Dr. Mariam Sophia Faris is a New York psychologist (NY Psychologist 026905) with 10 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, work through relationship and intimacy problems, and build self-esteem during life changes.
She focuses on practical steps rather than abstract theory. Sessions look at what keeps someone stuck - for example people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing a sense of self around a partner. Conversations aim to identify patterns, name unhelpful thoughts, and practice clearer communication and boundaries.
Her approach draws on therapies that blend action and reflection. Clients often try skills from cognitive behavioral therapy to test thoughts and behaviors. Emotion-focused ideas get used when relationships and attachment patterns are the concern.
Dr. Faris also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people decide what matters most and take small steps toward those values. For people who experience intense emotions, elements of dialectical behavior therapy can offer concrete coping strategies to get through hard moments.
She works in English and Spanish and sees adults in New York. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To start, select the See online therapy options button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, value-driven steps. Online sessions using ACT typically focus on simple exercises and behavioral experiments that clients can practice between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts and behaviors into testable pieces to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns. In remote sessions this often means homework exercises, thought records, and role plays adapted for video or phone.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That choice can shift as progress is made and needs change.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when circumstances call for brief support. It can also let people try exercises during real-world situations and bring observations back to the next session for discussion. Licensed professionals use these methods to help people practice skills and apply them between appointments.
