About Miranda
Miranda Fassbender is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for people coping with stress, anxiety, mood changes, and issues around eating and self-esteem. Miranda aims to make the first step toward help feel manageable and clear.
She keeps sessions straightforward and client-centered. Miranda listens first, then helps shape goals that matter to the person in front of her.
Background and approach
Conversations are meant to be direct and supportive, not full of jargon. Her approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques with skills-based work. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and build new skills to handle strong emotions.
Mindfulness and dialectical skills are used when people need tools to stay grounded or manage intense feelings. Motivational interviewing and narrative ideas also appear in session. Those methods help people connect with what they really want and reframe personal stories that get in the way.
Miranda often uses short exercises and real-life practice between meetings. People who come for help with grief, trauma, caregiver stress, workplace strain, or questions about life purpose find practical strategies here. The work includes setting small goals, tracking progress, and adjusting plans as needed.
Miranda offers a calm, steady presence while helping people take concrete steps toward greater balance and self-compassion.
Approaches for online work and practical skills
Miranda commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and many everyday stressors because it breaks issues into clear steps you can practice between sessions.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy ideas to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. DBT-style skills help when strong emotions or intense stress make it hard to act on long-term goals. Client-centered therapy shapes the way she meets clients - listening first and building goals together rather than imposing a fixed plan.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Miranda will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make scheduling easier for busy days. Video lets people work face to face; phone calls use less bandwidth; chat or messaging can be a quick check-in or a way to keep momentum between meetings. These options aim to make it easier to access consistent support while fitting therapy into life.
