Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online care

CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors by using structured, practical exercises and skills practice. It is often used for concerns like anxiety, depression, and stress where learning new coping strategies can reduce symptom impact.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and building willingness to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward meaningful goals. This approach can be useful for dealing with grief, life changes, and long-standing patterns that cause distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Miriam collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines elements from different approaches as appropriate and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses so clients feel the work matches their priorities.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to access care from varied locations and on schedules that suit busy lives. These formats support ongoing skill practice and check-ins between sessions, making it easier to integrate therapeutic work into day-to-day routines while still working with a licensed professional.
