Miranda Harrah , LPC

Miranda Harrah is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in West Virginia with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and self-esteem challenges. Miranda also works with issues such as communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia.

Miranda approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, viewing each person as the expert of their own story and helping them build on existing resources to move past what holds them back. She blends practical techniques with collaborative listening to support motivation, emotional growth, and clearer communication in relationships. Her clinical tools include client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness exercises, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work tailored to each person’s needs.

Miranda balances a full-time job with limited evening and weekend availability and typically offers shorter, 30-minute session formats. She is not accepting new clients at this time. Miranda encourages anyone considering help to recognize the courage it takes to begin therapy and respects the step it represents toward greater well-being.

Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Miranda uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where each person’s perspective guides the work - this approach helps with relationship struggles, self-esteem, and finding personal meaning. She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms. Mindfulness therapy is woven into sessions to help clients build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can be useful for trauma recovery and chronic worry.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Miranda works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors methods over time so the plan reflects what is most helpful for the individual.

Online therapy with Miranda is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care when balancing work, family, or other commitments and allow clients to engage in therapy from locations that suit them while working with licensed professionals trained in these approaches.
