Miriam "Masha" Andreoni , LCSW

Miriam "Masha" Andreoni, LCSW, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Florida with 10 years of clinical experience. She emphasizes an individualized approach to care, rejecting a one-size-fits-all model and meeting each person where they are. Miriam views uncomfortable feelings as a normal part of life and focuses on understanding how each client learns, experiences, and responds to situations in order to tailor treatment to their needs.

Much of her experience includes work with Veterans and active duty reservists, addressing post-deployment adjustment, substance use concerns, and military sexual trauma. She now supports individuals, couples, families, and groups across a range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting challenges, and career or life-purpose questions.

Miriam pays attention to co-occurring difficulties such as depression, insomnia, or relationship strain that often accompany primary diagnoses, and she approaches assessment and treatment without rushing to label. Her style blends warmth, motivation, respect, and appropriate humor, while maintaining a solution-focused orientation. She continues pursuing professional education and brings knowledge, lived perspective, and a collaborative stance to the work. Miriam looks forward to partnering with clients as they pursue meaningful change and improved well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Miriam integrates several evidence-informed approaches to support clients in an online setting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice and make space for difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committing to meaningful actions - this approach can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with unwanted urges or habits. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and the client’s own perspective; it creates a supportive environment for exploring self-esteem, relationships, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learning practical skills to shift them, which often benefits people managing anxiety, mood concerns, sleep difficulties, and addiction-related patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Miriam works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and life demands. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent care for clients who need convenience, geographic flexibility, or varied communication styles.
