About Miriam

Miriam Reeves is a licensed clinical social worker with LCSW and LISW-CP credentials and 13 years of experience. She practices in North Carolina and works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, anger, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and related concerns. Sessions focus on understanding patterns and building practical skills for everyday challenges.

Miriam draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), attachment-based ideas, and client-centered methods. She mixes approaches to match what a person needs in the moment. That means talking through thoughts and feelings, practicing small behavioral changes, and building more helpful coping routines.

Her background includes long-term work in outpatient addiction treatment and varied settings supporting people with mood and trauma-related difficulties. That experience shaped a straightforward style that focuses on skills people can use between sessions. She aims to help clients notice unhelpful habits and replace them with concrete steps that relieve day-to-day stress and reduce angry reactions.

Miriam often helps people improve communication, set clearer boundaries, and manage work or caregiving strain that feeds resentment or burnout. She also works with issues like ADHD, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, and family-of-origin problems when these affect mood or relationships.

Practical goal-setting is part of her approach. Early sessions typically clarify what matters most to the client and identify small, repeatable practices to test. Over time those practices are adjusted based on what helps the person feel more in control of their responses.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Miriam uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core tools. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and practice small actions that align with those values even when emotions are strong. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and reactivity.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns shape present-day responses. That can help when anger shows up around trust, abandonment fears, or communication breakdowns. The therapist and client work together to decide which approaches fit the problem and the person's goals, adjusting methods as progress is made.

Session formats are not listed in the biography; please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or other obligations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, less travel, and the ability to practice skills in familiar daily settings. Licensed professionals generally adapt exercises for video or phone sessions so people can try techniques and then report back in the next meeting.
