Sessions are practical and focused on everyday challenges like relationship strain, career shifts, parenting stress, and recovery from addiction. Her work often includes skill-building for coping with life changes and improving motivation. She uses client-centered strategies to follow each person’s priorities and pace.

Cognitive techniques are used when patterns of thought and behavior are getting in the way of goals.

That background informs a straightforward approach that balances understanding feelings with trying new behaviors.

She helps people set realistic goals and practice small changes between sessions. People who choose Miriam can expect a collaborative process. She listens for what matters most, then tailors sessions to those concerns.

Online support

Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life

Emotion-Focused Therapy helps people identify and make sense of strong feelings. It focuses on moments when emotions guide choices and aims to clarify what those emotions are trying to communicate. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches ways to accept difficult thoughts while committing to actions that match personal values. It can help when fear or doubt is holding someone back from meaningful change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Miriam will listen to your goals and try different tools based on what you need. She collaborates with clients to decide whether emotionally-focused exploration, acceptance practices, or cognitive skills will be most useful for a given concern.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow deeper verbal and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can work well for brief updates, ongoing coaching, or when written reflection feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives.
