Miriam "Masha" Andreoni , LCSW

Miriam "Masha" Andreoni is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), a credential for clinical social work practice, based in Florida with 10 years of professional experience. She rejects a one-size-fits-all approach and views each person as an individual whose reactions to stress, loss, trauma, or life transition deserve a tailored response rather than automatic labels.

Much of her work has included supporting Veterans and active duty reservists with post-deployment challenges, substance use, and military sexual trauma, and she also works with individuals, couples, families, and groups across a broad range of concerns. Her practice addresses anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting and career challenges, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD and bipolar-related difficulties, and other co-occurring problems that often appear together.

Masha emphasizes understanding where a person is coming from and what they want to achieve, then collaborating on solution-focused strategies to move forward. Her style is warm, motivating, and respectful, and she brings professional knowledge, continued learning, and appropriate humor to the therapeutic relationship. She invites clients to partner in the process of change and growth, avoiding judgment while working toward practical, individualized goals.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Miriam "Masha" Andreoni uses several evidence-informed approaches tailored to each person’s needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then clarifying personal values and taking committed action - this can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and learning new skills to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and addiction-related issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, empathetic relationship in which the therapist listens, validates, and supports each client’s own capacity for growth and self-directed change, which can aid relationship, self-esteem, and identity concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Masha works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and situation. She adapts techniques as needed and involves clients in decisions about treatment pace and focus.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, online therapy with Masha provides flexibility to fit appointments into busy schedules and to access care from different locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different communication formats, and engage in therapy in a way that feels most comfortable and practical.
