Miriam "Masha" Andreoni, LCSW

Miriam "Masha" Andreoni is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and jealousy. She speaks plainly and meets people where they are. She acknowledges that seeking help is a big step and sees that decision as a sign of strength. Masha emphasizes that there is no one-size-fits-all path to feeling better. She listens to each person’s story and focuses on practical steps they can try between sessions. Her work draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and client-centered care to shape treatment around the individual. She brings ten years of professional experience and a long personal history of life experience to her practice. That background includes substantial work addressing substance use, trauma, post-traumatic stress, and concerns common for veterans and first responders. She also supports people dealing with mood concerns, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, codependency, infidelity, and process addictions. In sessions she aims to reduce shame, improve communication, and help people reconnect with what matters to them. Conversations are intended to be straightforward and goal-focused, with room for humor when appropriate. Masha avoids quick labels and instead helps people sort overlapping issues like anxiety, insomnia, or relationship strain so they can move toward clearer choices. To start, she asks about where a person is now and what they hope to change, then crafts a plan that fits those goals. Her approach is collaborative and practical, aimed at small, sustainable shifts rather than sudden fixes.

How approach and online work come together

Masha commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small values-based steps, especially when anxiety, grief, or life changes feel overwhelming. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test practical behavior changes that can reduce distress. Mindfulness methods are woven in to build awareness of difficult feelings and improve focus in day-to-day life. Finding the right approach is part of beginning therapy. She works with each person to figure out which combination of methods fits their goals, needs, and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the plan is adjusted as progress and feedback shape the work. Confirm the available session options before booking so you know what formats are offered at the time. Online therapy can help fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and making it easier to join from different locations. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively over distance, and Masha will help tailor tools and homework so they work in your everyday routine.
