Miriam Gorgboyee, LCMHC

Miriam Gorgboyee is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and life changes. She also supports those dealing with grief, eating concerns, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem struggles, career questions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Miriam works with co-occurring issues when problems overlap. Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She listens first, then tailors conversations and strategies to each person's needs. Sessions focus on practical skills people can use between meetings. She aims to offer respect, sensitivity, and compassion throughout the process. Miriam uses evidence-based methods to address thoughts, emotions, and behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing inform her work. These approaches help people change unhelpful thought patterns, build coping skills, manage strong emotions, and find motivation to change. She brings eleven years of clinical experience to her practice. That background includes supporting people through addiction recovery, trauma recovery, and mood concerns. Miriam treats each situation as unique and adjusts plans as needs evolve. For people considering online therapy, she offers several session formats. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging are available. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment.

How online therapy and therapy approaches work together

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking and practice new skills to change reactions and routines. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, emphasizes noticing thoughts without getting stuck and choosing actions that match personal values. Miriam will work with clients to find the right mix of methods. She discusses goals and preferences and adjusts the plan as progress is made. That collaborative process helps determine whether CBT, ACT, DBT skills, or motivational interviewing techniques fit best for a persons situation. Online formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent. Video calls let the therapist and client use visual cues and real-time interaction. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or people who prefer typed conversation. These options increase flexibility for scheduling, reduce travel time, and allow people to keep momentum between appointments. Miriam combines practical exercises, skill practice, and regular review to help clients move toward their goals using the online format that fits them best.
