About Miriam
With ten years of professional experience as an LCSW in Florida, she combines several therapy styles to fit each person. Sessions tend to look like clear conversations about goals, habits, and what gets in the way. Masha uses skills from cognitive behavioral methods and mindfulness to address thinking patterns and daily routines, and she draws on acceptance-based ideas to help people live by their values.
Her background includes long experience with addiction, trauma, and military-related concerns, and she also supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, sleep or eating problems, and career uncertainty. Masha pays attention to cultural and life-context factors that shape a person’s choices and struggles.
In sessions she often mixes motivational interviewing techniques to help people clarify what they want to change. She aims to reduce shame and judgment so clients can try new behaviors and measure what works. Practical homework and short-term strategies are commonly used to build momentum between meetings.
People who prefer straightforward language and a collaborative plan find her style accessible. To begin, users are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability.

How her approaches translate to online work
Masha commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and then pick actions that match their values, which can help with life direction and motivation. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adjusted as progress is tracked.
The therapist's biography does not specify online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions useful because they can fit appointments into work breaks, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. Online work can also make it easier to practice skills in daily life and to share practical tools between meetings.
