Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Miranda frequently draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy, along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and take meaningful action, while also teaching skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings so they interfere less with daily life; it is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, which can aid healing after trauma, relationship strain, or experiences of loss. CBT offers structured strategies to identify and reframe unhelpful thinking and to build practical coping skills for mood disorders, panic, and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Miranda works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, adapting techniques as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy provides flexibility to meet from wherever is most convenient, using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access support during transitions, and maintain continuity of care with licensed professionals, all while allowing therapists and clients to focus on practical strategies and meaningful progress.
