Miriam Werquin , LCSW

Miriam Werquin is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She works with individuals facing life transitions, motivation struggles, self-esteem concerns, and challenges related to addiction and ADHD. Miriam focuses on clear, practical steps so clients can feel steadier and more in control.

Miriam uses a supportive, nonjudgmental approach in sessions. She encourages people to talk about what matters most and then co-creates goals that feel realistic. Conversations focus on skills that can be practiced between sessions and on noticing what gets in the way of change.

Her clinical background includes five years of master’s-level professional experience in Louisiana. Miriam brings a calm, straightforward style that many people find easy to follow during stressful times. She pays attention to both feelings and everyday habits that shape mood and behavior.

In therapy she draws on methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness to help clients build new responses to old patterns. Emotionally-focused methods are used when relationships and closeness are part of the concern. Miriam blends these approaches to fit each person’s needs.

Miriam lists women’s issues among her interests and can address intimacy-related concerns, body image, and caregiver stress alongside anxiety, grief, or career uncertainty. Sessions aim to be practical, compassionate, and focused on steady progress.

How approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and take action toward valued goals. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes because it focuses on values and small committed steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and then recommend techniques that fit those goals. That plan can shift over time as progress and new priorities emerge, so the process stays collaborative.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow real-time conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is preferred, live chat works well for shorter focused conversations, and text messaging supports ongoing brief check-ins and reminders. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel while using the approaches above.
