Miranda Fassbender, LPC - Therapist in Wisconsin

About Miranda

Miranda Fassbender is a Licensed Professional Counselor who practices in Wisconsin. She has eight years of experience and focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, eating and body-image concerns, and issues around self-esteem. Miranda aims to make starting therapy easier by offering a calm, straightforward approach for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

She creates a space where clients can speak frankly about what’s happening in their lives. Conversations are nonjudgmental and practical.

Background and approach

She listens first, then helps identify small steps that can bring relief and clearer direction. Miranda uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for managing intense emotions and mindfulness strategies to build awareness day to day.

Motivational interviewing supports people who feel unsure about change. Her work often touches on parenting concerns, workplace stress, grief, trauma, and caregiving strain, as well as issues tied to relationships and identity. Miranda pays attention to how those areas affect day-to-day functioning and mood.

She aims to translate therapeutic ideas into doable practices that fit each person’s life. Therapy with Miranda is collaborative. She helps set clear goals and checks in on what’s working.

Sessions focus on steps a client can try between meetings, with adjustments made as progress unfolds.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on respectful listening and building a trusting relationship. It helps when someone needs acceptance and a place to make sense of difficult feelings in their own words. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and provides straightforward exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it’s useful for anxiety, low mood, and eating-related thoughts. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping in stressful moments, which can help with overwhelming mood swings or strong anxiety.

Choosing the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will work together with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, and adjust those methods if something isn’t helping. The plan is practical and flexible rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy offers several ways to participate: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions for simplicity, and live chat or text-based messaging for shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, review progress, and support changes between sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
