About Miranda
Miranda Curnane is a licensed professional counselor in Connecticut with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, depression, LGBT concerns, family conflict, and parenting challenges. Miranda aims to make the first step feel manageable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
She uses a person-centered stance that treats the client as the expert on their life. That means listening first, then helping people choose realistic next steps.
Background and approach
Miranda guides conversations so clients can try small changes and notice what helps. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which teaches emotion regulation and coping skills. Those tools are used in clear, everyday language and fitted to each person’s needs.
Miranda has worked with a wide range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including issues around sexuality, relationship styles such as polyamory, trauma-related problems like domestic violence, and difficulties such as OCD, panic, and isolation. She helps people untangle practical problems like money stress and workplace strain as well.
Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Miranda believes therapy is a collaborative process and will work with each person to find approaches that suit their life and goals.
How Miranda’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then to commit to small actions that match their values. It can help when worry or avoidance gets in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps people try practical experiments to reduce anxiety and low mood. Those tools are useful for panic, obsessive thinking, and mood shifts.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Miranda will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your situation. If one approach doesn’t feel helpful, she will adjust strategies and focus on what works for you in real life.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let you speak face-to-face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to keep regular contact and to use short, focused exchanges between longer sessions. Those options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
