Miriam Werquin, LCSW

Miriam Werquin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. She also supports clients struggling with motivation, self‑esteem, addictions, and the changes that come with different life stages. Miriam aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable and respectful for anyone who is nervous about taking the first step.

In sessions she focuses on listening first and making space for honest talk. Miriam encourages practical steps clients can try between meetings and works with each person at their own pace. She uses a mix of approaches to match what the person needs that day.

Her background includes five years of master’s level clinical work in Louisiana settings. That experience informs how she helps people cope with caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, and the emotional aftermath of major life events. She also brings experience supporting people with ADHD, bipolar concerns, and co‑occurring substance use and mood challenges.

Miriam draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client‑Centered Therapy, Emotionally‑Focused Therapy, and mindfulness practices. In plain terms, that means she helps people notice what matters most, try small behavior changes, and build better ways to communicate and manage strong feelings.

She works in English and focuses on practical, steady progress. To begin, clients complete a short intake and then set appointments that fit their schedule.

Approaches That Translate to Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take concrete steps toward a meaningful life. It focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with what matters, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful thinking and building better habits, useful for stress, mood challenges, and motivation problems.

Client‑Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client's pace. This approach is helpful when people need a steady, supportive space to process grief, trauma, or major life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and day‑to‑day needs. That may mean trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting it as progress is reviewed.

Online therapy can make regular sessions easier to fit into busy lives, such as during a lunch break or between appointments. Some clients prefer shorter check‑ins or audio calls when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is tiring. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm current online and in‑person options before booking to ensure they meet your needs.
