About Mia
Mia Dessesaure is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression.

Mia believes each person knows their story best and brings strengths to the room. She uses those strengths to help clients face what feels hard right now.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize clear goals, steady problem solving, and building coping tools that fit everyday life. With seven years of professional experience in New York, Mia has worked with people dealing with panic attacks, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety. She also supports those navigating attachment and communication problems, money and financial stress, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and women’s issues.
Her approach centers on practical steps rather than jargon. Conversations often focus on identifying patterns, testing small changes, and practicing new ways of handling difficult moments. Mia offers a calm presence and direct feedback when it helps move things forward.
Clients can expect straightforward guidance, tools to manage symptoms between sessions, and regular checks on progress. Mia aims to help people feel more capable and more in control of their lives as they work toward clearer goals.
Therapeutic methods and online sessions that fit your life
Mia draws from well-established, evidence-based techniques to help people cope and change. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of thinking and acting; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and panic. Another approach emphasizes building safety and stability after trauma by developing skills for managing strong emotions and reducing reactivity; this helps with post-traumatic stress and intense stress reactions.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Mia will work collaboratively to learn about your goals and preferences, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. She aims to match techniques to what feels useful and doable for each person.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let you keep face-to-face connection while joining from different places. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick updates, tracking progress, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain momentum between sessions.
