About Miranda
Miranda Fassbender is a Licensed Professional Counselor who practices in Wisconsin. She brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on practical, everyday changes. Miranda aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
She helps people cope with stress and anxiety and addresses eating and body image concerns in straightforward ways. Depression, low self-esteem, motivation, and feeling stuck are also common topics she supports.
Background and approach
Miranda uses clear language and aims to keep sessions grounded and relevant to daily life. In sessions she creates an open setting where thoughts and feelings can be talked through without judgment. The work often includes learning concrete skills to manage symptoms and changing unhelpful patterns that get in the way of goals.
She favors hands-on tools clients can use between meetings. Miranda draws on Client-Centered methods that place the person's experience at the center of the work. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift thinking and behavior patterns, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation when needed.
Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing inform her style when people need focus or help deciding next steps. Her approach is collaborative and paced to what each person can handle. Miranda supports people trying to regain stability after loss, major life changes, or trauma.
She also offers help for workplace strain, caregiver stress, and issues related to identity and relationships.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Miranda commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely to each person's experience and shaping work around their goals. This approach helps people feel heard and guides decisions about what to try next.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and eating-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Miranda works collaboratively to choose methods that match the person's needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they decide whether to emphasize skills practice, problem solving, emotion regulation, or reflective work depending on what feels most helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video works well for deeper conversations and skill coaching, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit short check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it simpler to keep regular appointments and use therapy between meetings.
