About Miranda

Miranda Curnane is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Connecticut with four years of clinical experience. She draws on a person-centered foundation that trusts each client’s ability to understand their own needs, while offering guidance and evidence-informed techniques to support change.

Background and approach

Miranda commonly works with stress, anxiety, depression, and concerns related to LGBT identity, family conflict, and parenting challenges. Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with a collaborative, strengths-based stance.

She helps clients notice and reframe unhelpful thought patterns, practice skills to regulate emotion, and develop practical steps to manage everyday stressors. Miranda also has experience addressing a broad range of related concerns including mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, panic, social anxiety, relationship styles such as polyamory, and issues around sexuality and gender.

Clients who prefer a respectful, nonjudgmental therapist who combines warmth with structured strategies may find her style a good fit. She frames progress as a shared effort, offering support while encouraging personal insight and actionable steps toward healthier patterns.

Practical approaches and online therapy options

Miranda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and testing the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to reduce distress and build coping strategies, which can be helpful for anxiety, mood concerns, and obsessive patterns. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to help manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with clients to explore which methods fit their needs and goals, adapting techniques over time and inviting client feedback so treatment aligns with personal preferences and real-life challenges.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different locations, maintain regular contact between meetings, and choose a format that feels most comfortable for communicating about sensitive topics.
