Miranda Kolde , LCSW

Miranda Kolde is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with seven years of clinical experience supporting people through depression, anxiety, stress, addictions, trauma, parenting challenges, relationship concerns, domestic violence, and communication and boundary issues. She draws on a client-centered, strengths-based orientation that highlights solutions, uncovers hidden resources, and builds on how people have survived and overcome obstacles. Miranda's community mental health background trained her to assess immediate needs, develop collaborative care plans, and move at each client's pace, ensuring practical priorities are addressed alongside longer-term goals.

Miranda uses person-first language and prioritizes identifying strengths and supports that help clients make meaningful change. She has direct experience working with domestic violence matters, including interventions with perpetrators as well as work focused on improving communication and setting boundaries in relationships. Miranda tailors her therapeutic approach to each individual's needs, integrating evidence-informed methods and adapting techniques to fit life circumstances and personal goals. As an LCSW she brings social work perspectives to clinical care, combining practical problem solving with attention to personal values and resilience.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Miranda integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered techniques, and cognitive behavioral strategies to support clients in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take committed action while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and creating a nonjudgmental space where the client's perspective guides the work; it is well suited to building trust, exploring identity, and strengthening relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Miranda works together with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adapts techniques and pacing to fit what will be most helpful. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy aligns with individual values and practical circumstances.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care from licensed professionals and therapists without rearranging large parts of daily life, while still allowing for tailored, goal-focused work.
