About Mimi
She draws on work with PTSD and addictions, including gambling-related issues, to explain how those problems affect the brain and body. That teaching helps clients understand why certain reactions happen and what can be done about them. Mimi also supports people dealing with depression, bipolar concerns, grief, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem.
Mimi uses several evidence-informed approaches to shape sessions. She incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and willingness to act, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to name and change unhelpful thoughts, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation. Client-Centered methods guide the pace and tone of conversation so people feel heard.
Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, blended-family dynamics, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, codependency, and aspects of kink and alternative sexual culture. She also attends ongoing trainings and workshops to stay current with available practices.
Mimi aims for a non-judgmental atmosphere where clients can talk freely and learn concrete strategies. She welcomes questions and invites prospective clients to consider whether her practical, explanatory style fits their needs.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take action despite difficult thoughts or feelings; it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which often helps with depression, anxiety, and patterns that maintain addictions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for mood instability and relationship stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mimi will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. She typically blends approaches so sessions match current needs rather than following one fixed model.

Online sessions can reduce travel time, allow meetings during breaks, and make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while juggling other responsibilities.
