About Miranda

Miranda Fassbender is an LPC practicing in Wisconsin with eight years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, eating and food-related concerns, depression, and shifts in self-esteem.

Background and approach

She draws on a mix of evidence-informed methods to help clients identify unhelpful patterns and build practical skills for coping, motivation, and resilience. Miranda aims to create a welcoming space where thoughts and feelings can be explored without judgment, and she emphasizes collaboration and clear goals in therapy.

Her work also addresses a broad range of life challenges including relationship and family difficulties, trauma and grief, workplace stress and compassion fatigue, and concerns tied to body image and caregiver strain. Miranda integrates approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to tailor interventions to each person’s needs.

She supports clients as they take steps toward meaningful change, offering guidance and encouragement throughout the process.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life



Miranda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; this approach often focuses on practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, and avoidance. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person’s own experience and emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration to foster self-understanding and growth. In addition, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills may be used to teach distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness when strong emotions interfere with daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Miranda works with each client to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in session, adjusting methods over time so therapy remains aligned with evolving needs. That collaborative stance helps people feel more empowered and involved in their progress.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling easier for busy lives and reduce travel time. These formats allow clients to access a licensed professional from their home or another convenient location while preserving flexibility in how often and when they meet.
