About Miriam
Miriam Werquin is a licensed clinical social worker in Louisiana who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and trauma. She brings five years of professional experience and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and approachable for someone under strain. Miriam creates a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through what matters most to them.
She emphasizes clear goals and practical steps so progress can be felt between sessions.
Background and approach
Conversations tend to be honest and down-to-earth rather than full of technical terms. Her work often addresses life changes and motivation, helping people figure out what matters and how to move toward it. She also supports clients dealing with relationship strain, grief, intimacy concerns, substance-related issues, and compassion fatigue.
ADHD is included among the concerns she lists, and she integrates that with other areas of struggle when relevant. Miriam uses several approaches to fit different needs. She draws on acceptance and commitment techniques to help people live by their values, cognitive behavioral strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and client-centered methods that prioritize the person's own pace and voice.
Mindfulness and emotionally focused ideas also appear where they help with emotional regulation and connection. People who choose her can expect a collaborative, goal-oriented style. Miriam helps set realistic steps, checks in on progress, and adjusts the plan as needs change.
She aims to make therapy useful and clear for busy, worried caregivers or parents reading on a phone.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name their values and take small actions toward them, even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings appear. It is useful for anxiety, stress, or getting unstuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's lead so sessions feel paced to each person's needs and priorities.Choosing the most helpful approach is part of the work. Miriam will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than sticking to one fixed method.
Online therapy offers several conveniences for busy lives. Video calls let people read facial cues and hold a fuller conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited or being on camera is not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coping reminders, or when someone needs flexibility between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, caregiving routine, or other commitments.
