Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Miriam draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support clients in online sessions. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and guides them to take values-driven actions - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, motivation, and navigating life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the person is heard and respected, making it especially helpful for building self-esteem and exploring emotions related to trauma or transitions. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and confidence challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Miriam collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and those who prefer to connect from home. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different formats to see what feels most comfortable, and access consistent support even during life transitions.
