About Myra

Myra Brown welcomes parents and caregivers who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin. She focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, grief, and other life changes. Myra speaks plainly and aims to make each session feel straightforward and useful.

She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - LMHC with ten years of experience. Her work often centers on everyday problems like managing mood swings, coping with panic, handling communication breakdowns, and addressing caregiver stress.

Background and approach

She also helps with attention challenges, relationship concerns, and work-related pressure. In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Those methods are tools she draws from to create a plan that matches what each person needs.

Myra pays attention to goals and steps that can be tried between meetings. She describes her role as a guide who listens, helps set realistic goals, and encourages steady progress at the client's pace. She values respect, empathy, and clear communication while working together.

Her approach emphasizes small, achievable changes that add up over time. Myra practices in Florida and offers services to people in English. She accepts international clients and works with adults who want practical strategies for managing life stressors and improving daily functioning.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Myra uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and routine mood struggles. Motivational Interviewing focuses on what matters to the person and builds readiness for change by highlighting their own reasons and strengths. That approach can help with moving through life transitions, improving routines, or addressing worries about change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. Together they clarify priorities, try techniques, and adjust the plan as needed so the approach stays useful and realistic.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules and different needs. These options make it easier to meet from home, manage childcare, or fit therapy into work hours while keeping the focus on progress and practical strategies.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
