How Miriam uses CBT and trauma-focused care online
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people notice thoughts that fuel anxiety or low mood and then test and change those thoughts with practical exercises. It is useful for panic, mood shifts, and everyday worry by teaching concrete skills to change reactions and behaviors.Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on working through the effects of trauma at a pace that feels safe. It includes techniques to reduce intense reactions, manage flashbacks or nightmares, and rebuild a sense of control after traumatic events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Miriam treats this as a collaboration and will help you choose methods that match your goals and comfort level. She adapts techniques based on what is most helpful during sessions and what fits your day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls let you use visual cues and do interactive exercises. Phone sessions can be a shorter, lower-bandwidth option for check-ins. Live chat and text messaging allow brief updates or ongoing support between longer meetings. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caregiving, and other daily demands.
