Myriam Nunez , LCSW

Myriam Nunez is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She focuses on everyday struggles and life changes, including challenges around pregnancy and childbirth and concerns many women face. Her tone is direct and encouraging for anyone taking a first step toward support.

She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through hard feelings. Sessions are conversational and practical. Myriam listens first, then helps identify small, doable steps toward feeling better.

Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address coping skills, emotion regulation, and motivation. She spends time helping people name what’s happening and try new ways to respond. This can include working through guilt, shame, forgiveness, and communication problems that get in the way of daily life.

Myriam also supports caregivers who are feeling overwhelmed and people navigating major life transitions. She explains options clearly and tailors each plan to what the person needs right now. Her California licensure is LCSW, and she brings eight years of professional experience to sessions.

She offers sessions in English and meets with clients through several online formats. Myriam recognizes that starting therapy can be hard, and she encourages gentle progress rather than quick fixes.

How evidence-based techniques work online

Myriam uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques to help people manage symptoms and build skills. One common approach focuses on teaching practical coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing methods, grounding exercises, and behavioral experiments to test out new responses. These tools help during moments of high distress and in everyday situations.

She also works on improving emotion awareness and mood by identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing different ways of thinking and acting. This approach supports people dealing with low mood, self-esteem concerns, and grief by breaking problems into smaller, manageable steps and tracking what helps.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and comfort level, and adapt methods as progress is made.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit short breaks or times with lower bandwidth, live chat can be useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
