About Miriam

Miriam Reeves is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) in North Carolina with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, anger, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting, self-esteem, career concerns, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She offers sessions in English and works from a practical, skills-focused stance.

Her approach centers on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, then try different ways of responding. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based ideas, client-centered techniques, and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Sessions typically combine talking with specific exercises and small experiments to practice between meetings.

Clients can expect direct discussion of patterns that maintain problems, concrete techniques to change thinking and behavior, and attention to how relationships and attachment affect current life. She draws on experience from many settings, including outpatient addiction treatment work, to offer straightforward tools for managing cravings, mood shifts, and stress responses.

Miriam helps people develop clearer goals and step-by-step plans to move toward them. She also works on rebuilding connections after loss, separation, or betrayal, and on practical strategies for parenting stress and caregiver strain. Progress is framed as learning new skills and testing them in everyday situations.

Practical matters such as scheduling, costs that vary with location, and the subscription-based payment model that can be canceled at any time are handled through the site's intake process. Prospective clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

How Miriam Uses Structured Approaches in Online Sessions

She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, then practices alternative responses with concrete exercises and homework. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many day-to-day problems that respond to behavior change and thought monitoring.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and trust.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Miriam will review a client's goals, symptoms, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Together they check what works and adjust techniques over time, combining elements from CBT, ACT, and attachment work as needed.

Confirm the specific online session formats available before booking, since the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it possible to practice skills in everyday settings. The therapist will discuss practical scheduling, how to prepare for sessions, and which type of meeting best supports the client's goals.
