Dagmar Mirabal, LCSW

Dagmar Mirabal is a licensed clinical social worker who emphasizes a collaborative, person-centered way of working. She offers steady support while people talk through anxiety, stress, grief, relationship strain, and addictions. Dagmar speaks English and Spanish and practices in Florida as an LCSW.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings are welcomed. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful patterns, naming emotions, and setting small, realistic goals. Dagmar encourages practical steps people can try between appointments to build confidence and momentum.

Dagmar uses cognitive behavioral skills alongside client-centered and existential approaches. That means she helps people notice thinking patterns that get in the way, consider what matters most to them, and try new behaviors to test different outcomes. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also appear in her work to support focus and motivation.

Over 13 years she has helped people manage life transitions, parenting stresses, career questions, and burnout from caregiver roles. She also works with issues such as trauma, self-esteem struggles, anger, and mood concerns. Her practice includes coaching elements when people want clear action plans.

People who choose Dagmar can expect a practical, steady style that blends talk, skill-building, and goal-setting. She aims to help clients make clearer decisions, improve relationships, and regain a sense of direction in daily life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. In practice this means the therapist reflects what a person says, supports their choices, and helps them name what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches specific skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it works well for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress. Motivational Interviewing helps people strengthen their own reasons for change by exploring ambivalence and building internal motivation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Dagmar will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust the plan over time. This is a collaborative process where the person and therapist decide what helps most.

Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how she currently meets with people. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, help fit appointments around work or caregiving, and allow shorter check-ins when that's useful. It can also reduce travel and let people use skills learned in sessions in their everyday routines.
