About Miriam
Miriam Gorgboyee is a licensed clinical mental health counselor in North Carolina. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma, depression, grief, and parenting challenges. Miriam emphasizes respect and compassion in every conversation to make starting therapy easier for someone taking that first step.
Miriam uses practical, goal-focused methods in sessions. She adapts the plan to fit each person's needs instead of following a one-size-fits-all approach.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and aimed at building skills that people can use between meetings. Her background includes over a decade of work in mental health, and she draws from several evidence-based approaches. Miriam blends acceptance-based strategies with behavioral tools and motivational techniques to address symptoms and life stressors.
She also uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy when intense emotions or relationship stress get in the way of daily life. Many people consult her about parenting stress, burnout, career strain, and co-occurring issues like ADHD combined with anxiety or mood concerns. Miriam helps clients sort priorities, manage overwhelming feelings, and set realistic goals for change.
She encourages small, steady steps that build confidence over time. Conversations focus on what is useful now. Miriam will work with clients to identify strategies that fit their routines and values, then adjust the approach as progress is made.
She aims to make therapy practical, understandable, and directly relevant to each person's day-to-day life.

Therapeutic approaches for online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to sit with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help people who feel stuck or who want to make values-driven changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills for people who face intense emotions or relationship stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Miriam will discuss these methods with each person, consider their goals and preferences, and combine elements that fit best. Sessions start by identifying immediate concerns and then testing approaches that feel workable in real life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people keep visual contact and work through exercises together. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let someone share thoughts between sessions or use brief coaching-style support. These options make it easier to fit regular care into busy schedules and different routines.
