She has five years of master’s level professional experience and works in Louisiana. Clients come for help with anxiety, depression, trauma, motivation, and self-esteem concerns. She also supports people facing major life transitions and the confusing emotions those changes can bring.

Miriam creates a nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be named and understood. Conversations are guided by what matters most to each person and paced to their comfort. She focuses on simple, actionable steps that fit into daily life.

Her practice draws on several approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused methods, and mindfulness.

Therapy with Miriam is collaborative. She helps people set clear goals and pick strategies that match their needs. The emphasis is on steady progress and practical change rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Miriam commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. ACT helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and clarifies personal values to guide action. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.

She also draws on client-centered and mindfulness practices to help people feel heard and more aware of their present experience. Client-centered work emphasizes respectful listening and collaboration. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention skills that can lower stress and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Miriam will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She adjusts pacing and techniques as progress unfolds so strategies stay practical and relevant.

It also supports consistent follow-up between sessions and the use of tools like thought records and brief mindfulness exercises that can be practiced at home.
