BHow sessions work
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Miriam works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is behavior-focused work that identifies specific actions to change patterns. This helps with habits, impulsivity, smoking or vaping cessation, and daily routines that affect mood.Another useful approach is skills training for managing anxiety and mood. That involves learning and practicing concrete tools for emotional regulation, communication, and coping with seasonal shifts in mood. These techniques are aimed at making small, repeatable changes that add up over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Miriam will collaborate with each person to test methods and adjust based on what helps most. She will discuss goals and preferences and recommend techniques that fit the person's situation.
