About Miranda
Miranda Curnane is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Connecticut. She has four years of clinical experience supporting people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and concerns related to LGBT identity. Miranda emphasizes a person-centered approach and centers sessions on each person's goals and strengths.
Her work often focuses on practical ways to change unhelpful thinking and to manage strong emotions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and coping skills.
Background and approach
Miranda also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and solution-focused ideas when they fit the client's needs. Sessions are conversational and direct. Miranda listens first, then helps people choose small, achievable steps that move them toward their goals.
She encourages clients to notice what matters most to them and to try new behaviors that align with those values. She has experience addressing family and parenting concerns and supports people navigating relationship structures such as polyamory and non-monogamous arrangements. Miranda also works with people facing obsessive thoughts, panic, social anxiety, financial stress, and issues related to sexuality and kink culture.
Miranda aims to make the first step easier by offering clear explanations and concrete tools. Her style is collaborative and practical, and she helps people find strategies that fit their daily life and responsibilities.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values, even when uncomfortable emotions are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then try out techniques and adjust based on what works. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to individual needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t practical. Live chat and text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, homework support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
