About Mariam
Mariam Parekh is a clinical psychologist practicing in Colorado with ten years of experience. She holds licenses as a Colorado psychologist (CO Psychologist PSY.0004802) and a California psychologist (CA Psychologist 34220). Mariam aims to help people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, and depression with practical methods and steady support.
She earned a PhD from Syracuse University and completed internship and post-graduate work at veteran-focused sites. That background informed her work in depression, anxiety, trauma, adjustment, and marital concerns. Mariam uses clear goal-setting so people can track progress and notice change over time.
Her approach blends structured techniques and reflective work. She draws on cognitive behavioral methods to address thinking and behavior patterns. She also integrates psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current reactions. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are used to set small, achievable steps.
Mariam emphasizes strengths and positive psychology alongside more targeted skills. Sessions often include practical tools for coping, communication, and emotional regulation. The aim is to help people build a more meaningful relationship with themselves and others.
She values a collaborative process where goals are clear and progress is visible. Outside of clinical work, Mariam spends time with her son and enjoys fantasy books and shows about body language. Those interests shape a warm, curious perspective in sessions.
How clinical approaches shape online work
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical skills and step-by-step exercises. DBT, dialectical behavior therapy, adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication, useful for emotional overwhelm and relationship difficulties. Motivational interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons for change and set realistic next steps.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try approaches that match those needs. Plans are adjusted over time based on what works and what the person wants to achieve.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - it can reduce commute time, allow shorter check-ins between commitments, and help someone attend sessions from a familiar setting. For some people, video sessions allow full interaction, while phone visits can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter conversation is needed. Ask about available formats when scheduling so sessions fit daily routines and goals.
