Remote therapy combining trauma-focused and skills-based methods
Client sessions are offered remotely using approaches rooted in Client-Centered care and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In practice this means conversations that center on a person’s priorities alongside practical work to recognize and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing may be woven in to support coping and decision making.Miriam is certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy and uses trauma-focused principles when addressing the effects of traumatic experiences. That approach involves structured, collaborative work to examine and reframe trauma-related beliefs while attending to pacing and readiness. Solution-focused elements can help identify steps toward specific goals when appropriate.
Remote appointments can take place by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Those formats allow for a mix of reflective dialogue and skill practice, with the clinician adapting the session style to match a client’s preferences and the issues they bring.
