About Miriam

Miriam Reeves is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW (North Carolina) and LISW-CP (South Carolina) with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, anger, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, parenting strains, self-esteem, career changes, and ADHD. Miriam also lists codependency among her focus areas.

Miriam previously spent a decade working in an outpatient program for people facing substance use and co-occurring mental health challenges. That background shaped her practical approach to crises, relapse risk, and ongoing recovery challenges. She draws on direct experience rather than abstract theory alone.

Her therapeutic style mixes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered methods. In sessions she helps people notice patterns in thoughts and behavior, practice skills for emotional regulation, and name what matters to them so choices match values.

Expect clear, task-focused conversations and skill practice alongside space to talk through painful experiences. Miriam uses techniques to build coping strategies for anger, grief, and anxiety, and to address communication problems and codependency patterns that leave someone putting others first. She also works on problems linked to family of origin, abandonment, and commitment worries.

Miriam practices in North Carolina and offers services in English. Practical steps for beginning include completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the therapist's online options. Fees vary by location and use a cancellable subscription model.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and making different choices in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviors to change mood and function; it is practical for depression, anxiety, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and helps people understand how those patterns show up now, which can be helpful for intimacy problems and codependency.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Miriam works collaboratively with each person to test methods and see what fits their goals and preferences. She mixes techniques and adjusts the focus as people learn which skills help them feel more in control and more consistent with their values.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. It can allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and it removes travel time so people can use therapy during a break or between commitments. Licensed professionals can offer skill-building, worksheets, and practical behavior changes through remote sessions, helping people practice boundary-setting, emotional regulation, and coping strategies in everyday life.
