About Miriam
Miriam Charles-Flores, LCSW, is licensed in Connecticut and has 40 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and a wide range of family and life-cycle issues. She describes her approach in her own terms as integrating mindful thinking, cognitive-behavioral methods, and person-centered practices to create practical treatment plans.
She trained at Smith College and earned a Master of Social Work degree. Her background includes outpatient and inpatient hospitals, schools, and private practice. Those settings shaped her work with mood disorders, complex trauma, and relationship problems.
Sessions begin with an assessment to clarify problems and set goals. Miriam emphasizes clear treatment plans rooted in multiple approaches. She uses assessment findings to shape interventions and track progress.
Her approach mixes Attachment-Based ideas with client-centered listening and cognitive-behavioral techniques. Mindfulness practices are used to help with stress, anxiety, sleep, and emotion regulation. Emotionally-focused elements guide work on intimacy and relationship patterns.
Practical skills and education are part of most sessions. Clients can expect conversation, skill practice, and steps to apply between meetings. Miriam also addresses parenting, family of origin issues, eating and sleep problems, anger, career concerns, and coping with life changes.
She offers services in English and Spanish and accepts international clients. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, use the site matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Approaches used in remote sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current connections and closeness. It helps people who struggle with trust, commitment issues, and recurring relationship conflict by identifying interaction patterns and experimenting with new responses.Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and collaboration. The therapist uses reflective listening and open dialogue to help people name their goals and make choices about next steps.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It provides concrete strategies for managing anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and mood swings through skill practice and short between-session exercises.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and preferences and recommend methods that fit the client's situation. Plans can be adjusted as progress and needs become clearer.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break, shorten routine check-ins, avoid travel time, or use audio-only sessions when video is not needed. Licensed professionals often use these practical options to help sessions fit into everyday life rather than requiring large schedule changes.
