About Miriam
Miriam helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, anger, depression, and trauma. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, self-esteem challenges, career shifts, and midlife changes. She uses straightforward talk and active listening to help people name what matters most to them.
Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive-behavioral ideas, attachment-focused thinking, client-centered conversation, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. In practice she focuses on what someone wants to change, then tries simple steps to move toward those goals. Sessions often include noticing unhelpful patterns, practicing new ways to respond, and building skills for daily life.
Miriam draws on long experience with addiction and outpatient behavioral health work. That background shapes how she helps people manage cravings, build routines, and cope with setbacks. She also brings experience supporting people through loss, family conflict, and burnout related to caregiving.
People who work with Miriam can expect a collaborative, calm style. She helps clients clarify priorities, experiment with small changes, and practice skills between sessions. The aim is clearer choices and better coping in everyday life.

How Miriam’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take small steps toward what matters. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes where values and action matter. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and communication, which can help with intimacy issues, trust, and family-of-origin problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns often seen with anxiety, depression, and anger.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, and then try methods that fit. Work is adjusted over time so techniques match the person's needs and pace.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use approaches like ACT or CBT through worksheets, mood tracking, and in-the-moment skills practice without needing long commutes. Ask about the specific session formats available when you schedule.
