Miriam "Masha" Andreoni, LCSW

Miriam "Masha" Andreoni is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 10 years of professional experience. She believes there is no single method that fits everyone - while uncomfortable feelings are common, each person learns, experiences, and reacts in unique ways. Much of her earlier work centered on Veterans and active duty reservists, addressing post-deployment adjustment, substance use, and military sexual trauma, and she now works with individuals, couples, families, and groups across a broad range of concerns.

Masha emphasizes individualized, solution-focused care that looks beyond labels to understand how conditions such as post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, relationship difficulties, and addiction can overlap and influence daily life. Her goal is to understand where a person is coming from, clarify what they hope to achieve, and collaborate on practical steps toward change without judgment. She draws on evidence-informed strategies to support growth, coping, and improved functioning.

With a commitment to ongoing professional development, Masha brings clinical knowledge, respect, and appropriate humor to her work. She presents herself as a practitioner who is ready to be of service and encourages those seeking change to recognize this first step as an investment in themselves.

Approaches That Guide Online Therapy

Miriam "Masha" Andreoni draws from several practical, evidence-informed approaches to guide online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to take committed action toward personal values - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is frequently applied for depression, anxiety, insomnia, and many stress-related problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the therapist's nonjudgmental presence to help clients clarify goals and build self-directed change.

Masha approaches treatment as a collaborative process - finding the right therapeutic method is part of the work together. She and the client consider symptoms, goals, and personal preferences to determine which strategies will be most helpful and adapt the plan as progress unfolds.

Delivered online, therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility in scheduling and access - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter exchanges are possible through live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options helps meet practical needs and supports continuity of care for people balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
