About Mariam
Mariam Ross is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) with 25 years of experience. She blends a caring, down-to-earth approach with practical help. She aims to listen closely and work together to meet immediate needs and longer-term goals.
She offers a calm space to talk about grief, loss, anxiety, or depression. She also helps people facing trauma, addiction, relationship or intimacy problems, parenting stress, and challenges related to gender and identity.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on coping with life changes and reducing burnout or compassion fatigue. Mariam uses emotion-focused and attachment-based ways of working alongside evidence-informed skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. That mix supports understanding feelings, improving relationships, and learning concrete tools to manage mood and behavior.
She brings practical resources when people need help with basics like food, shelter, or medical care. In sessions, she listens first and then helps people decide what steps to try. That might mean talking through painful memories, practicing new ways to handle stress, or building routines to steady mood swings.
The goal is steady, manageable progress rather than overnight fixes. Mariam practices in Washington and conducts sessions in English. Her LICSW credential is listed as WA LICSW.
She works with adults on a range of concerns and adapts her approach to each person’s situation.

Online support
Emotion and Attachment Work Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on feelings and how they shape relationships and personal decisions. It helps people notice, name, and work with emotions so they can respond differently to stress and connection issues.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections influence current patterns in relationships and self-worth. This approach helps people recognize repeating patterns and try new ways of feeling and relating to others.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and experience, with the therapist offering empathic listening and gentle guidance. It supports people who need space to sort out values, identity, or next steps without pressure.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about what they need, their goals, and any preferences for skills-based work or deeper emotional processing. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth emotional work and real-time feedback. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or reduce bandwidth needs. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins, skill practice, or when written reflection feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around busy lives.
