More about Miranda

  • 19 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed in both Colorado and California. I have had the honor of supporting people going through very difficult and vulnerable situations for the past 19 years- specializing in hospice, palliative care, pediatric oncology, military and veterans, bereavement and grief counseling, living with serious illness, and caregiver issues.

It takes courage to reach out for help and support, and I hope that our work together will be very helpful and comforting, whatever you are navigating right now. My style is warm and calm, and I want you to feel heard, seen, respected, and valued.

Warmest wishes,

Miranda

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
