Miriam Reeves, LCSW, LISW-CP

Miriam Reeves is a licensed social worker with more than 13 years of clinical experience helping adults address a wide range of mental health and life challenges. She holds the credentials LCSW and LISW-CP - Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Independent Social Worker for clinical practice - and has spent a decade working in an outpatient setting supporting people with substance use concerns and co-occurring mental health issues before moving into online practice with Better Help.

Miriam works with clients confronting depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and relationship and communication difficulties. She also supports people navigating parenting challenges, career transitions, caregiving stress, compassion fatigue, intimacy concerns, and family-of-origin problems. Her approach blends evidence-informed methods including Gestalt therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and solution-focused techniques, integrating concepts from other therapeutic models as appropriate.

In sessions Miriam aims to foster greater self-awareness, help clients identify and remove barriers to their goals, and build practical skills for coping and growth. She emphasizes both learning new strategies and cultivating acceptance of where clients are now, supporting a path toward clearer choices, healthier relationships, and increased resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches Available Through Online Sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that block progress toward goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, teaching practical skills for managing mood, anxiety, and anger as well as improving coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns that stem from early connections and helps clients build healthier bonds and greater emotional safety in relationships. It can be particularly helpful for intimacy issues, attachment concerns, and relationship difficulties.

Miriam Reeves approaches treatment collaboratively, recognizing that the right therapeutic method varies by person and by problem. She works with each client to evaluate strengths, preferences, and goals, and then tailors techniques from these approaches to create a plan that feels like a good fit.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care from home or during transitions. This variety of communication options allows clients to choose the format that best supports their needs and comfort level.
