About Myia

Myia Kramer is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She has worked in mental health since 2007 and brings 15 years of clinical experience to her practice. Parents and caregivers often find her direct, practical style easy to follow when they are worried about family stress or a loved one's substance use.

Myia began her career in community agencies, providing Wraparound services for children and adolescents with complex needs.

Background and approach

She later spent three years teaching in Japan through the JET Programme, an experience that shaped her cultural awareness and communication skills. After returning to California she completed her licensure hours and worked as a Clinical Program Manager for a county behavioral health department. Her later roles included managing services for people with severe mental health and dual diagnosis needs.

She now manages an Addiction Medicine Program and brings that operational perspective into therapy. Her background means she is familiar with practical systems and referrals when needed. Myia centers care that reflects the realities of BIPOC clients, with attention to women of color, families, and teens.

She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts approaches to each person's needs and abilities. Sessions focus on clear goals, improved communication, and steps families can try between meetings. People contact her about addictions, relationship strain, self-esteem, depression, and family challenges.

She also addresses attachment issues, blended family dynamics, codependency, infidelity, fertility worries, and related concerns. To begin, readers should use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire.

How Myia uses evidence-based methods in online care

Myia works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on specific problems and practical change. One common approach involves structured interventions to address addiction-related behaviors and triggers, helping people identify patterns, build coping strategies, and plan for relapse prevention. Another frequent focus is on improving communication and attachment-related concerns; these methods help people notice interaction patterns and practice new ways of relating that reduce conflict and increase connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Myia collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She reviews progress together and adjusts the plan as issues evolve so the work stays focused and useful.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family schedules and reduce travel time. It can also offer shorter check-ins when people need brief support or phone-based options when bandwidth is limited. Ask about available formats during the scheduling step so sessions match everyday life and practical needs.
