About Myrna

Myrna Peterson-Weimann is a Florida licensed mental health counselor who helps families and parents facing everyday struggles. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth conversations. Her manner is respectful and compassionate, and she adapts her work to each family's needs.

She also addresses issues such as attachment and abandonment, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, and problems that arise from family of origin dynamics.

Background and approach

Sessions are shaped around what the client wants to change. Myrna uses brief, focused work when that fits, and also pulls from longer models when needed. She includes methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, among other well-known approaches, to help people learn new thinking and coping skills.

Her style is practical rather than abstract. Conversations often involve setting clear goals, practicing new ways to talk and manage emotions, and trying small changes between meetings. Myrna explains techniques in simple terms and makes sure they fit a family's routines and priorities.

She practices in Florida and communicates in English. With twenty years of experience as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor - she supports parents and families looking for steady, experienced guidance.

Therapeutic approaches and online care for families

Myrna commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anger, low self-esteem, and many everyday parenting challenges. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is another approach she draws on; it teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication for high-stress moments.

She also adapts brief, solution-focused techniques for families who want fast, targeted changes. These methods focus on small, practical steps to shift interactions at home and build new habits over weeks rather than months. Choosing which approaches to use is a collaborative process - the therapist works with each person to match techniques to their goals, needs, and comfort level.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy households. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into school and work schedules, allow follow-up between meetings, and let families use approaches in the settings where problems happen. The therapist and client will decide together which format and pace will work best for their situation.
