About Mimi
Mimi explains how stress, anxiety, and trauma change the body and the brain, and she helps people understand those effects. She uses practical, straightforward explanations to make symptoms easier to follow. Her work includes support for relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, body image, and self-esteem issues.
Her approach draws on several therapy styles. Mimi uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and move toward it. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns. She also incorporates client-centered techniques and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
Mimi has specialized training related to gambling and other addictions from the National Council on Problem Gambling and long experience with post-traumatic stress. She often teaches about the brain-based aspects of addiction and trauma so clients can see how symptoms are connected to biology and behavior.
Sessions typically include clear feedback, teaching practical skills, and setting small, achievable steps. Mimi emphasizes collaboration, listening first, and tailoring work to each person’s needs. She invites people to start a conversation about what they most want to change.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world experiments to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. It includes practical homework and behavioral experiments. The Gottman Method offers structured ways to improve communication and handle relationship stress through specific exercises and check-ins.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Mimi will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then suggest methods that fit those aims. She works collaboratively and adjusts plans as progress unfolds so the work feels relevant and manageable.
Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can still make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life: appointments can be scheduled around work or caregiving, shorter check-ins are possible when needed, and learning skills between sessions is convenient. Many people find that learning skills and getting regular feedback works well even when in-person meetings aren’t practical. Licensed professionals can help tailor session length and focus to what fits a person's schedule and goals.
