Miriam Gorgboyee, LCMHC

Miriam Gorgboyee is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, and depression. She speaks plainly and treats each person with respect and compassion. Miriam encourages small first steps and recognizes that starting therapy can take real courage.

She draws on 11 years of professional experience to shape a plan that fits each person. Miriam uses practical strategies from widely used approaches to help people manage symptoms and move toward their goals. Sessions focus on everyday skills, clearer thinking, and realistic steps clients can use between meetings.

Miriam adapts conversations to match what each person needs. She pays attention to how problems like grief, anger, or low self-esteem show up in daily life. That helps her suggest tools that feel useful and doable rather than abstract.

She also supports people dealing with parenting stress, career questions, compassion fatigue, eating concerns, and ADHD alongside other issues. Miriam recognizes that problems often overlap and aims to address co-morbidity in a coordinated way.

If someone is ready to try therapy, Miriam guides them through simple next steps and helps set achievable goals. The early sessions often focus on building rapport, clarifying priorities, and choosing a few concrete strategies to practice between visits.

Approaches used in online therapy and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and commit to actions that match their values. It can help when painful memories, anxiety, or life changes make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling difficult relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest approaches that fit. That collaborative process helps decide whether ACT, CBT, DBT, or a blend of methods will be most useful.

Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins that match a person's schedule. It can also let people try different ways of working with a therapist until they find what helps them make steady progress.
