About Miriam

Miriam Werquin is a licensed clinical social worker in Louisiana who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and the shifts that come with life transitions.

Background and approach

With five years of master's-level experience, she works to build an atmosphere where clients can express difficult feelings and explore motivation, self-esteem, and confidence without judgment. Miriam emphasizes practical strategies alongside emotional support to help clients move toward clearer goals and greater resilience.

Her approach draws on evidence-based methods to address concerns ranging from relationship and intimacy challenges to grief, addiction, and ADHD-related struggles. She also attends to areas like caregiver stress, body image, dissociation, and co-occurring issues that can complicate recovery.

Miriam aims to partner with each person to identify meaningful change, using compassion and collaboration to guide therapeutic work toward the outcomes the client values.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters most to them and take committed action toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings; it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering concrete skills for mood, motivation, and coping with depressive symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and stress reduction practices that support emotional regulation and resilience.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore which methods feel most useful for their goals, combining tools from ACT, CBT, and mindfulness when that alignment best serves the person’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy with Miriam is offered through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for ongoing therapeutic work.
