About Miriam
Miriam Davis-Doern is a New York licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, and low self-esteem. She draws on three decades of practice to support people working through depression and mood concerns. Miriam keeps language clear and focuses on small, doable steps in sessions.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify what is causing problems day to day. Sessions often include practical strategies for coping, ways to change unhelpful behaviors, and guidance for building confidence.
Background and approach
She also helps people who want to stop smoking or vaping and those dealing with seasonal mood changes. Miriam has long experience with young adults and teens who face mental health challenges, autism spectrum differences, or developmental delays. She offers understanding around communication challenges, impulsivity, and the stress caregivers often carry.
Her approach emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and recognition of each person’s cultural and personal experience. Miriam has worked with many LGBTQ+ young adults and with people facing discrimination. She focuses on helping people increase self-awareness and meet realistic goals.
In sessions she balances practical skills with validation of what clients have lived through. People who choose Miriam can expect a calm, steady presence and clear behavioral suggestions they can try between meetings. She invites new people to take the first step and complete a brief matching questionnaire to begin scheduling.

Approaches that translate to online care
Miriam uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear skills and behavior change. One common approach she uses emphasizes identifying triggers and practicing coping strategies in small steps; this helps with anger, anxiety, and stress by giving specific actions to try between sessions. Another frequently used method centers on behavior change and habit replacement, which supports people working on addictions, smoking or vaping cessation, and impulsive actions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Miriam works with each person to weigh goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try methods and adjust them based on what fits the person’s life and progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice skills in-session. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer ongoing contact and brief support between meetings. These options make care more flexible and easier to maintain over time.
