Miriam Gorgboyee, LCMHC

Miriam Gorgboyee is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and depression. She works with clients who are coping with life changes, grief, eating concerns, anger, ADHD, and issues that overlap with one another. Miriam aims to meet each person where they are and to tailor sessions around practical goals. Her approach is direct and collaborative. She uses everyday language and focuses on actions people can try between sessions. Miriam draws from several evidence-informed methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. These shape how she works rather than defining the whole process. In sessions she helps people learn skills to manage distress, notice unhelpful patterns, and practice different responses. She also supports career and coaching concerns and helps clients rebuild confidence and self-esteem. When addictions are part of the picture, she uses motivational techniques to clarify goals and strengthen commitment to change. Miriam has eleven years of experience in the field and holds the LCMHC credential. She approaches stress and trauma with sensitivity and without judgment. Her work often focuses on day-to-day coping, small steps, and measurable progress. To begin, she asks people to share what feels most urgent and what they want to change. From there she and the client develop a plan that fits the client’s life and priorities.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Miriam often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take values-based action even when feelings are difficult. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and situations where motivation feels stuck. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to practice new, more effective responses. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems where skills and planning make a difference. Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Miriam will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as needs change, so the plan can stay practical and relevant. For online work, please confirm what session formats are available before booking since the biography does not list formats. In general, online sessions can make it easier to schedule brief check-ins, avoid travel time, and fit therapy into a busy day. They also allow work with a licensed professional from a distance, which can be helpful for people who live outside the therapist’s immediate area or who need more flexible timing.
