About Mimi
Her background includes substantial work with post-traumatic stress and how trauma affects the body and brain. She also has focused experience in addictions, including gambling-related problems, and emphasizes teaching how these conditions affect thinking and behavior. Mimi combines that knowledge with experience treating mood and personality challenges.
Her approach blends evidence-informed methods to match a client's needs. She uses techniques drawn from acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, client-centered work, and relationship-focused tools. Sessions typically focus on skills people can use between meetings and on practical steps for coping with life changes.
Mimi pays particular attention to issues like attachment and abandonment, body image and eating concerns, chronic pain or illness, caregiver stress, and intimacy-related topics including kink and alternative sexual culture. She also supports people dealing with grief, communication problems, codependency, and dissociation.
People who choose Mimi often want straightforward guidance, concrete strategies, and a therapist who explains the brain-based side of trauma and addiction. To begin, prospective clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.

How therapy approaches fit into online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting tangled in them, then move toward values-based actions; it can help with anxiety, chronic health challenges, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for depression, anxiety, and managing addictive behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client’s pace to build trust and self-directed change.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mimi will help figure out which methods match a person's goals, needs, and preferences, and adjust the plan over time. The choice of techniques is collaborative and responsive to what is helpful in session.
The therapist’s biography does not specify which online session types are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, cut out travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people access a clinician who understands trauma, addiction, and chronic health concerns without changing the practical focus of the work.
