Miriam Reeves , LCSW, LISW-CP

Miriam Reeves is a licensed social worker with more than 13 years of experience supporting people through addiction, mood and anxiety disorders, grief, trauma, and relationship challenges. She holds LCSW and LISW-CP credentials - LCSW is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and LISW-CP indicates Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practice - reflecting advanced training and clinical experience across multiple care settings.

For a decade she worked in an outpatient program serving individuals facing drug addiction and co-occurring mental health concerns, gaining extensive hands-on experience with recovery, relapse prevention, and integrated treatment approaches. Her clinical work addresses depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, self-esteem struggles, anger management, ADHD, communication difficulties, and other life stressors.

Miriam blends experiential and evidence-informed methods, drawing principally from Gestalt therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solutions-Focused approaches while adapting concepts from other modalities as needed. She aims to foster self-awareness, practical skills, and values-driven action so clients can move past barriers and work toward meaningful goals, all while cultivating greater acceptance of where they are in the present moment.

Approaches for online therapy and personal growth

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on actions that align with personal values. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, avoidance, and navigating life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of relating that develop from early relationships and influence present-day closeness, trust, and intimacy. It can support work on relationship concerns, abandonment issues, family of origin dynamics, and communication problems.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to shift them, which is often effective for depression, anxiety, anger, and ADHD-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is handled collaboratively. Miriam will work with each person to clarify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what fits their needs, preferences, and pace.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to schedule care around work, family, or mobility needs. These options support continuity of care and allow clients to engage in therapy from familiar settings while working toward meaningful change.
