About Miriam
Her work emphasizes clear, down-to-earth conversation. She listens for patterns that keep clients stuck and offers strategies to break them. Sessions often include attention to thoughts, behavior, and relationships so clients can test new ways of coping and relating.
Miriam blends several evidence-informed approaches to fit each person’s needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small committed steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and change behavior. Attachment-based ideas guide work on connection and trust in relationships.
She has a long background in outpatient addiction care and has supported people through grief, anger, parenting stresses, work challenges, and compassion fatigue. That experience shapes a practical focus on daily life and surviving difficult moments.
Miriam holds LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and LISW-CP credentials and provides services from North Carolina. She speaks English. If a reader wants to explore therapy, she encourages using the Start Therapy process to match and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-based actions even when emotions feel tough. This can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when the goal is clearer living rather than complete symptom removal.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is practical for anxiety, depression, addiction-related patterns, and coping with life changes.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships and trust. It can be helpful when intimacy, communication, or family of origin issues are causing pain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Miriam will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying tools, checking how they land, and adjusting the plan together.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue work from different locations. Because session formats are not listed here, confirm current options before booking so you know what will be offered. Many people appreciate being able to schedule check-ins around work, reduce travel time, and use skills learned in real life between appointments.
