About Miranda
Miranda Kolde is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with seven years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and trauma. She also supports people facing relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem struggles, and career transitions. Miranda draws on practical skills to help people get unstuck and move forward.
Her approach is person-centered and strengths-based. She looks for what is already working in a person’s life and builds from those strengths.
How Miranda works
Sessions focus on clear goals, real-world steps, and strategies that can be used between meetings. Miranda learned much of her work in community mental health settings. That experience taught her to spot immediate needs, create practical care plans with people, and progress at each person’s pace.
She emphasizes realistic, doable changes rather than long lists of homework. She has direct experience addressing domestic violence issues and has worked with people who have caused harm as well as those wanting safer, clearer communication and boundaries. Miranda also helps with attachment and abandonment concerns, dissociation, chronic pain and illness, and co-occurring conditions.
Her methods include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered techniques, and hypnotherapy. Miranda tailors these approaches to fit each person's goals and life situation. Work in sessions is collaborative and practical.

Online support options
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then act in line with their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, depression, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when emotions run high.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Miranda will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs and then suggest which methods to try first. Sessions can blend techniques so the plan fits each person’s situation and pace.
Online therapy offers flexibility and many ways to connect. Video calls let you work face-to-face when a deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions can fit a shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or use tools in moments of need. These options help therapy fit into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on progress and practical skills.
