She brings five years of master’s level professional experience working in Louisiana.

Miriam uses practical approaches that help clients notice patterns of thought and behavior.

People can expect a straightforward style that balances listening with action. Miriam supports exploration of values and goals, and she helps clients apply new skills between sessions. Her aim is to help people move toward a life that feels more manageable and meaningful.

How Miriam’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through short exercises and practice between sessions. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing difficult emotions without fighting them and choosing actions that match personal values; it can help when avoidance or rumination gets in the way. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship and supports people as they find their own answers and build confidence.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Miriam discusses goals and preferences in early sessions and adjusts methods based on what feels most helpful. She works with each person to blend strategies so the therapy fits their life and needs rather than forcing a single method.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow more face-to-face interaction, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, live chat offers a quicker check-in, and messaging supports shorter reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and fit therapy into a busy schedule.
