About Miranda

Miranda Kolde is an LCSW who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship challenges. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, domestic violence concerns, parenting strain, grief, and major life changes. Miranda uses clear, practical conversation to find what matters most to each person.

She works from a client-centered, strengths-based standpoint. That means she looks for what already helps you and builds on it. Sessions focus on real steps and solutions, not just talking about problems.

Miranda's background is in community mental health. That experience taught her to spot urgent needs quickly and to build care plans together with the person in front of her. She moves at each person’s pace and adapts the plan as life shifts.

Her toolbox includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, hypnotherapy, and a person-centered style. She draws on these approaches to address issues like communication, boundaries, codependency, and coping skills.

Miranda pays attention to how people have survived hardship and to the strengths they may not notice. She will tailor sessions to your goals, whether you need short-term coping tools or ongoing support for deeper change.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take small, value-driven steps despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and emotions connect and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and problem-focused goals. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Miranda will collaborate with each person to choose what fits best based on goals and preferences. She adapts methods over time if something is not helping, so the work stays relevant and practical. Session formats are not listed here, so confirm available options when you book. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use tools like worksheets or recorded skill practices between meetings to reinforce progress.
