About Miriam
Miriam Charles-Flores is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Connecticut with 40 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, grief, addictions, sleep and eating issues, parenting and family problems, and family of origin issues. She also lists ADHD, bipolar, and coping with life changes among the concerns she addresses.
She trained with a Master of Social Work from Smith College and has worked in outpatient and inpatient hospitals, schools, and private practice. Over decades of practice she has seen a wide range of concerns and has developed a broad set of ways to help people. The biography emphasizes practical assessment and planning rather than labels.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused work, and mindfulness practices. In sessions she aims to identify clear treatment goals and to outline steps people can use to manage symptoms and relationship patterns. Therapy notes often focus on understanding repeating family roles and expectations that still affect daily life.
Miriam describes using assessment to shape a treatment plan with education and problem-solving skills. That plan can include mindful thinking, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and exercises to address emotions and attachment patterns. Sessions are presented as collaborative and goal-oriented.
She offers services in English and Spanish and accepts international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Miriam uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns shape current connections. That approach focuses on understanding emotional bonds and how they affect trust and closeness, which can help with relationship and intimacy-related concerns.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety or depressed mood.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Miriam uses assessment and discussion to figure out what fits a person’s needs and goals, and she adjusts methods as therapy progresses. Clients work with her to set clear goals and to try practical steps between sessions.
