Miriam Werquin , LCSW

Miriam Werquin, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Louisiana with five years of master’s-level professional experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress and anxiety, find motivation, build self esteem and confidence, and work through depression and trauma. Miriam also supports individuals experiencing life stage transitions and the uncertain emotions that come with change.

Her approach centers on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed and explored. As a licensed clinician, she draws on evidence-informed methods to guide conversations and help clients identify practical steps toward greater wellbeing. Miriam recognizes that seeking change takes courage and offers steady support to clients as they pursue a more fulfilling and happier life.

Whether someone is facing a period of intense stress or a gradual shift in priorities, Miriam aims to provide compassionate, attentive care that honors each person’s pace and goals. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and works with clients to develop strategies that fit their needs and circumstances.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Miriam uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy as core approaches in her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values, accept difficult emotions, and take committed action toward meaningful goals; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and unconditional positive regard so clients feel heard and supported while they explore their thoughts and feelings; it is especially helpful for building self-esteem and confidence.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Miriam frames that choice as collaborative. She works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then tailors techniques from different approaches to fit each person’s situation rather than following a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit care into busy schedules or to continue therapy during life transitions. For many people, working with licensed professionals remotely provides consistent access to support and a way to make steady progress from wherever they are.
