 - LCSW
 
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed in both Colorado and California. I have had the honor of supporting people going through very difficult and vulnerable situations for the past 19 years- specializing in hospice, palliative care, pediatric oncology, military and veterans, bereavement and grief counseling, living with serious illness, and caregiver issues. 
It takes courage to reach out for help and support, and I hope that our work together will be very helpful and comforting, whatever you are navigating right now. My style is warm and calm, and I want you to feel heard, seen, respected, and valued. 
Warmest wishes,
Miranda

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
