Miriam Perrin, LMHC

Miriam Perrin is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 16 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship strain. She focuses on building a trusting connection so clients can speak honestly and begin to feel more like themselves. Miriam aims for clear, manageable steps rather than long, confusing plans.

Miriam uses practical tools to teach coping skills and improve day-to-day functioning. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set small, attainable goals and track progress.

How Miriam uses practical approaches online

Miriam uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood challenges because it breaks issues into small, solvable parts.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify immediate goals and build on strengths. This approach narrows attention to what works now and sets short, measurable steps to create change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Miriam collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adjusts homework, session pace, and tools so the plan feels doable and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for this style of work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins or to share progress between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or parenting demands, and let people try short-focused exercises without long travel times.
