About Miriam

Miriam "Masha" Andreoni is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on family and parenting concerns among many other issues. She offers practical, straightforward help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, or major life changes. Masha writes plainly and values a down-to-earth, respectful approach that meets people where they are.

She works in English and practices in Florida. Masha prefers to tailor each plan to the individual rather than use a single method for everyone.

Background and approach

In sessions she aims to understand what a person is facing now, what they want to change, and which small steps feel doable. Her style blends listening with practical strategies so clients can try new ways of coping between meetings. She brings a decade of professional experience as an LCSW to her work and continues learning as needs evolve.

That background includes work with trauma, addictions, and complex stressors, as well as issues like codependency, communication problems, and life purpose. Her training includes cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and client-centered care. For parents and families, Masha focuses on real-world solutions: improving communication, managing anger, coping with sleep and eating disruptions, and handling relationship and separation questions.

She also addresses concerns that often appear alongside those issues, such as depression, ADHD, and process addictions. Practical options for connecting include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription plan that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary by location and therapist availability.

How Masha uses different approaches online

Masha often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns.

She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy, which teaches skills to notice difficult feelings while focusing on what matters most. ACT can help when people want to move toward meaningful family or life goals despite uncomfortable emotions.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques during early sessions, and adjust the plan based on what fits each person’s needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide which tools to use going forward.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people connect face-to-face from home, phone sessions work when video is not possible, and live chat or text can support quick check-ins or reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to continue therapy during life transitions.

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.

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.
