About Miranda
Miranda Kolde is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports people coping with parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem struggles, career changes, bipolar mood issues, and major life transitions. Miranda writes plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person.
Her sessions are rooted in a client-centered style that looks for strengths and practical solutions.
Background and approach
She draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and hypnotherapy when helpful. Miranda focuses on real-world tools that people can use between meetings. Miranda trained and practiced in community mental health settings.
That work taught her to spot urgent needs, build collaborative care plans, and move at each person’s pace. She emphasizes person-first language and attention to how people have survived hard things so far. She has seven years of experience as an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - and sees clients from Indiana as well as international clients in English.
Miranda tailors each plan to individual needs, combining coping skills, boundary work, and problem-solving strategies. In sessions she will help you identify immediate concerns, set small goals, and practice skills that fit your life. The focus is on what you want to change, what resources you already have, and simple steps forward.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages choosing actions that match personal values while building skills to handle discomfort, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses structured techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with practical strategies for mood, stress, and relationship problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Miranda will collaborate with you to pick methods that match your goals and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time if something isn’t working. The choice is guided by what you want to change and what feels doable.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit your schedule. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to make consistent care more flexible and easier to maintain.
