Miriam Reeves , LCSW, LISW-CP

Miriam Reeves is a licensed social worker with more than 13 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, trauma, and relationship challenges. She holds the credentials LCSW and LISW-CP - LCSW denotes Licensed Clinical Social Worker and LISW-CP indicates a licensed independent social worker with a clinical practice designation - and is licensed to practice in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio.

Miriam spent a decade working in an outpatient setting focused on substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns before moving into private practice work. She draws on a blend of therapeutic traditions to tailor care to each person, integrating Gestalt therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and solutions-focused techniques while borrowing useful concepts from other approaches as needed.

Her clinical focus includes depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, anger, ADHD, intimacy and relationship issues, parenting concerns, career stress, compassion fatigue, and coping with life transitions. Additional areas of attention include attachment and abandonment issues, family of origin dynamics, codependency, communication and control struggles, and caregiver stress. Miriam aims to help clients increase self-awareness, develop practical skills, and move toward meaningful goals while cultivating acceptance of themselves in the present moment.

Therapeutic Approaches Miriam Uses in Online Sessions

Miriam commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when working with clients online. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then to clarify values and take small, committed steps toward a more meaningful life - it can be helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to change them, which often supports work on mood, anxiety, and coping strategies.

She also incorporates Attachment-Based ideas when relationship patterns and early bonds are central to a person’s difficulties, exploring how attachment styles shape communication and emotional safety. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Miriam works collaboratively with each client and other licensed professionals as appropriate to identify the methods that best fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences.

Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to receive care from home or wherever they are. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, support continuity of care, and allow therapists to use techniques and tools that adapt well to remote formats.
