About Miriam
Her background includes ten years in an outpatient program supporting people with substance use and co-occurring mental health issues. That work shaped a straightforward, results-oriented style that mixes several therapy approaches. Miriam uses elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-based ideas, and client-centered principles in sessions.
In practice she focuses on helping people understand patterns that hold them back. She talks through thoughts and behaviors, practices skills for managing strong emotions, and supports clients in setting realistic goals. Topics she commonly addresses include ADHD, intimacy and attachment struggles, communication problems, codependency, and caregiver stress.
Miriam also helps people facing life transitions such as divorce, aging and caregiver responsibilities, career changes, and grief. She emphasizes small, achievable steps and learning skills that work day to day. Her approach aims to increase self-compassion while also promoting meaningful behavior change.
Clients work on practical strategies, moment-to-moment awareness, and values-based action. Miriam encourages collaboration so treatment fits each person’s goals and circumstances.
How her approaches translate to online work
Miriam uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas alongside cognitive behavioral techniques. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety, avoidance, and motivation. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand and change how they connect with others. CBT offers clear tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Miriam works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person’s needs and goals. She adjusts techniques over time so sessions feel useful and aligned with what the client wants to accomplish.
