About Miriam
Miriam Gorgboyee, LCMHC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, and the strain of major life changes. She meets each person with respect and calm. Miriam aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is unsure about seeking help.
She frames sessions around clear, practical goals. Miriam listens first, then tailors conversations and plans to what the person says they need. She focuses on skills that can be used between sessions so progress carries into daily life.
Background and approach
Her approach blends evidence-based strategies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. Those methods help with mood, impulsive behavior, and motivation to change. Miriam adapts techniques to the unique mix of concerns a person brings, including co-morbid conditions where problems overlap.
With 11 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina, she has supported people working through trauma, grief, self-esteem struggles, eating concerns, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and career or parenting stress. She keeps explanations direct and avoids jargon so people understand each step. Miriam offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.
She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. People interested in starting fill out a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, anger, and coping with major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments and behavior changes; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindful awareness, which can help with impulsive behaviors and strong mood swings.Finding the right approach is part of the early work in therapy. Miriam collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts techniques as progress is made so sessions stay relevant and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make scheduling easier and to suit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or choose brief, focused exchanges. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it simpler to use skills learned in therapy in everyday life.
