About Miranda
Miranda Kolde is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and trauma. She also supports those facing relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem concerns, and career or life transitions. Miranda writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person who comes in.
Her approach is client-centered and strengths-based. She looks for practical steps and hidden resources a person already has. Miranda draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their reasons for change, and she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools to shape skills and actions.
Miranda's background includes seven years in community mental health settings across Indiana. That work taught her to spot urgent needs quickly and to build care plans together with each person. She emphasizes working at a comfortable pace and respecting each person’s experience.
When domestic violence concerns are present, Miranda has worked both with survivors and with people who have harmed others, focusing on communication and boundary skills. She uses person-first language and centers how people have survived and coped.
Sessions are tailored to the individual. Miranda collaborates with clients to choose techniques that fit their goals and daily life. She aims to make therapy straightforward and usable between sessions.

How her approaches work in online therapy
Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their reasons to change and to build motivation step by step. It focuses on listening, reflection, and finding personal goals that matter to the individual. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that match a person’s values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Miranda will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped before. Together they decide which tools to use and how to adapt techniques to daily life, so therapy fits real-world needs.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to attend sessions without long travel, fit brief check-ins into a workday, and try techniques in the settings where problems happen. Licensed professionals can guide skill practice between meetings and help clients apply strategies to everyday routines. -
