Miriam "Masha" Andreoni is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 10 years of professional experience. She rejects a one-size-fits-all model and instead treats each person as an individual whose responses to stress, loss, and life transitions are shaped by unique histories and circumstances. Miriam works across a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family challenges, grief, self-esteem, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting, and ADHD, among others.

Her approach is collaborative and nonjudgmental; she aims to understand where clients are coming from and what they hope to achieve before recommending strategies. Miriam integrates evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered work, mindfulness techniques, and motivational interviewing to tailor care to each person’s needs. She emphasizes practical, solution-focused steps while honoring the complexity of co-occurring issues like substance use, trauma, and relationship strain.

Miriam brings ongoing professional development, clinical knowledge, and a warm, respectful manner to her work, using appropriate humor when helpful. She is accepting new clients in Florida and offers flexible ways to connect, including video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care with Miriam "Masha" Andreoni

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when uncomfortable thoughts and feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and persistent difficulties that involve avoidance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. CBT can be effective for anxiety, mood concerns, insomnia, and problem-solving around life changes.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and respect so clients can explore their own solutions at their own pace. This approach supports self-esteem, relationship challenges, grief, and decisions about life direction.

Miriam works collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She views finding the right mix of techniques as part of the therapeutic process and adjusts plans as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - clients can meet by video call, schedule phone sessions, or use live chat and text-based messaging for shorter check-ins. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, and other responsibilities while accessing licensed professionals and therapists who can support recovery and growth.
