About Miriam
Miriam "Masha" Andreoni is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, mood changes, and ADHD. She writes simply and directly, and she focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Masha validates the difficulty of reaching out and frames seeking help as an important act of self-care.
She brings ten years of clinical experience working in Florida settings. Her background includes a range of concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief, sleep and eating struggles, intimacy-related issues, and relationship and communication challenges.
Background and approach
Masha also supports people dealing with bipolar disorder, substance and process addictions, and life changes related to career or parenting. Masha combines several therapy styles to match what each person needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one tool she applies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Client-centered techniques and mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to increase self-awareness and calm. Sessions may include problem-solving, skill practice, and short-term coaching to manage day-to-day challenges.
She pays attention to cultural and identity factors, including LGBT concerns and multicultural issues. Masha's approach is collaborative - she works with each person to set realistic goals and adjust plans over time. Practical matters such as grief, first responder stress, HIV/AIDS concerns, and hospice and end-of-life topics are also within her experience.
People who want straightforward, empathetic guidance and clear strategies to cope often find her style helpful.
How these approaches work online and what to expect
Masha frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people name their values and take small steps toward a life that matters to them. ACT is useful when worries or avoidance get in the way of doing what matters most.She also relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. CBT often involves practical exercises and short homework tasks to test different ways of thinking.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. She will discuss options with each person and shape sessions around goals, daily routines, and preferences. This collaborative planning helps decide whether ACT, CBT, mindfulness work, or a mix of methods will be most useful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day or to keep a written record of goals and coping tools. These formats aim to make consistent care more flexible and easier to use for people juggling work, family, or other demands.
