About Miriam

Miriam Werquin offers direct, down-to-earth support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or big life changes. She speaks plainly and listens carefully so parents and caregivers can explain what's hard and get practical help. Miriam is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - practicing in Louisiana with five years of master's-level professional experience.

She helps people facing trauma, grief, relationship or intimacy struggles, and challenges with motivation or self-esteem.

Background and approach

She also works with concerns like addiction, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and caregiver fatigue. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, steady steps toward calmer days. Miriam blends practical tools with a compassionate, client-centered stance.

That means she follows the person's pace and priorities while introducing strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to reduce distress and change unhelpful thinking. Emotionally focused ideas help when relationships and communication are the main problem. Therapy sessions involve talking through what feels stuck, trying exercises to shift thoughts and behaviors, and building routines that support well-being.

Miriam aims for real changes you can use between sessions, such as simple coping techniques and clearer ways to set boundaries. She encourages anyone who is unsure about therapy to start small. The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first meeting to see if the fit feels right.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches that work well online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then take small steps toward a values-driven life. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it suits worries, low mood, and many day-to-day challenges. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience, offering a nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead to build trust and clarity.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Miriam will talk with each person about goals and preferences and try methods that fit those needs. The process is collaborative, with regular check-ins to see what helps and adjustments made along the way.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit appointments into busy lives. Video lets people have face-to-face conversations, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quicker check-ins, and text messaging suits short updates or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options give flexibility while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
