About Miriam

Miriam Gorgboyee is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina who focuses on parenting and family concerns alongside a range of personal challenges. She supports people coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, anger, and self-esteem issues. She also addresses eating struggles, ADHD, compassion fatigue, career and coaching questions, and co-morbidity when concerns overlap.

Miriam uses straightforward talk and practical tools rather than jargon.

Background and approach

She listens for what matters most to each person and shapes sessions around those priorities. Her style aims to help someone notice what is getting in the way and practice small, doable steps toward change. She draws from approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to match methods to a person’s needs.

Miriam adapts techniques to fit daily life, so skills learned in session can be used at home or work. With 11 years of clinical experience, Miriam balances structure with empathy. She keeps plans simple and focused so progress is clear.

Many clients find this combination helpful when juggling parenting duties and other responsibilities. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients. Formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session based on therapist availability.

Using evidence-based approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that align with personal values. It can help people who feel overwhelmed by worry, grief, or life changes find steady ground and clearer priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to test and change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many situations where someone wants concrete tools to feel better day to day.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That collaborative choice can be adjusted over time as needs change.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy parents and people with tight schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins or practicing skills between sessions. These options make it easier to use therapy regularly and apply strategies where they matter most.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
