Background and approach
She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas and parts of dialectical behavior therapy to help with emotion regulation and relationship patterns. Motivational interviewing techniques appear in her work when change feels overwhelming or motivation is low. Clients can expect a therapist who listens closely, speaks plainly, and keeps a sense of humor in sessions.
Mirinda aims to be supportive and present through hard moments and during progress. Sessions focus on concrete skills and real-life practice rather than long theories. Her background includes a master’s degree in counseling and twelve years of clinical experience in clinics and independent practice settings.
She has worked with people dealing with chronic physical illness and with those navigating adoption, foster-care related issues, caregiving stress, and end-of-life concerns. Mirinda practices as an LPC in South Carolina. She offers work that blends evidence-based methods with flexibility, matching tools to each person’s needs and goals.

04Online support
Practical approaches for online therapy
Mirinda uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice different behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it focuses on concrete steps people can try between sessions.She also incorporates mindfulness and acceptance and commitment therapy. Mindfulness teaches noticing thoughts and physical sensations without judgment, which can reduce reactivity. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people clarify values and take small steps toward a meaningful life, even when difficult feelings are present.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods seem most useful, adjusting techniques to match goals and preferences rather than using a single fixed plan.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let people use body language and a fuller conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for quick check-ins or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or treatment schedules.
