About Miriam
Miriam Reeves is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) with 13 years of experience. She practices in North Carolina and works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, anger, relationship and family issues, and ADHD. She also addresses parenting stress, self-esteem, career changes, and coping with life transitions.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered methods. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer self-understanding. She helps people notice patterns, try new ways of responding, and use straightforward strategies to manage emotions and behavior.
Miriam’s background includes long-term outpatient work with people experiencing substance use and mental health challenges. That experience informs how she supports people facing addiction, relapse risk, and the emotional impacts that follow. She also works with those confronting family of origin issues and attachment concerns brought into adult life.
In sessions she often combines behavioral tools, mindfulness practices, and attention to relational patterns. Conversations aim to identify unhelpful habits, practice alternative responses, and build steady coping methods for stress and intense feelings. Practical homework and real-life exercises are used when helpful.
Her practice style tends to be direct and focused on what the person wants to change. People seeking help with communication problems, codependency, abandonment concerns, or managing caregiver stress may find this approach relevant. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Miriam uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life changes that make decision-making hard.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. That approach helps when family of origin issues or attachment concerns shape reactions in adult relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences together and suggest which methods to emphasize. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively whether to focus more on skills practice, relational patterns, or both.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Confirm the available session formats and how cancellations and subscriptions work when you set up your first appointment.
