Miriam is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC practicing in Texas and offers help in both English and Spanish. Her style emphasizes practical conversation and steady support. She asks questions that clarify what matters most and helps people build on their strengths.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on real-life problems like communication breakdowns, money worries, caregiver strain, and trouble with body image or self-worth. Miriam draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions toward clear skills and habits. She helps people cope with chronic pain, illness, or disability by identifying small, sustainable changes.
People who are facing divorce, separation, or midlife shifts will find straightforward tools to manage emotions and choices. Grief and loss are treated with patience and structure, helping clients process what they’ve been through and find ways to keep living purposefully. When abandonment, attachment, or control issues come up, the work focuses on understanding patterns and trying different responses in everyday life.
She has eight years of professional experience and accepts international clients. Getting started is a simple process: choose Start Therapy, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a time that fits the client’s calendar.
Evidence-based techniques and flexible online care
Two evidence-based approaches commonly used are skill-building therapy and short-term problem-focused work. Skill-building involves learning practical tools for managing anxiety, improving communication, and coping with mood changes. Problem-focused work narrows in on a specific difficulty, like grief, caregiver stress, or relationship communication, and maps out steps to change day-to-day patterns.Another helpful approach is paced processing of loss and life transitions. This method gives space to name feelings, organize memories, and plan next steps so grief or major change does not derail daily functioning. These approaches aim to produce small, steady improvements that add up over time.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, try a few methods, and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful. That way each person helps shape the focus and pace of work.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for full-session conversation and learning new skills. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or use brief support when needed. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
