Miranda Fassbender , LPC

Miranda Fassbender, LPC, is a Wisconsin-based therapist with eight years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, eating and food-related concerns, depression, and challenges with self-esteem. She brings a breadth of experience working with relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, parenting and career concerns, and compassion fatigue, as well as additional focus on body image, caregiver stress, first responder issues, guilt and shame, life purpose, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and women's issues.

As an LPC - which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor and indicates state licensure to provide mental health services - she draws on client-centered principles alongside evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each person. Miranda emphasizes a nonjudgmental, collaborative atmosphere where clients can explore difficult thoughts and feelings and build skills for more satisfying, sustainable change. Her approach balances practical strategies with empathic support, helping people find motivation, strengthen coping, and increase self-compassion.

Miranda frames therapy as a partnership and supports clients as they take the courageous steps toward greater well-being. Located in Wisconsin, she works with a range of concerns from everyday stress to complex trauma, meeting clients where they are and helping them move toward clearer goals and healthier patterns.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Therapy

Miranda combines client-centered work with cognitive and behavioral skills to help people navigate emotional and practical challenges. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a warm, nonjudgmental relationship that encourages self-exploration and personal growth, and it works well for people seeking validation, clarity, and deeper self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical strategies, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and many mood-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for emotional regulation and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Miranda works collaboratively with clients and other licensed professionals to determine which methods best fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts tools and pacing so treatment feels personalized rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities, and they allow people to access consistent support from wherever they are located in Wisconsin. Miranda uses these formats to maintain continuity of care and to meet clients in the mode that feels most comfortable and practical for them.
