Miranda Curnane, LPC

Miranda Curnane, LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), is licensed in Connecticut and brings four years of professional experience to her therapeutic practice. She works with people coping with stress and anxiety, depression, LGBT-related concerns, family conflicts, and parenting challenges, offering practical support and evidence-informed techniques to help clients move forward.

Miranda favors a person-centered approach - she emphasizes respect for each individual’s own knowledge about themselves and partners with clients to identify realistic goals. She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and to teach skills for managing emotions. Miranda recognizes that reaching out for help can be one of the hardest steps, and she affirms the courage it takes to begin that work. She looks forward to supporting people who are ready to explore change and build healthier ways of coping.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Miranda commonly draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the pace and goals of therapy - it can be especially helpful for exploring identity, relationships, and personal values. CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety and depression, offering practical strategies for symptom reduction and daily coping. DBT emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can benefit those struggling with intense emotions or difficulty managing reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Miranda works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and life commitments, and allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent, ongoing support in formats that suit different comfort levels and needs.
