Miriam "Masha" Andreoni, LCSW

Miriam "Masha" Andreoni is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who greets people with directness and warmth. She writes plainly about life feeling off and helps people who are ready to make a change. Her tone is encouraging and practical, aimed at people who already know something needs to shift.

Masha says she avoids a one-size-fits-all approach. She listens first to learn how each person reacts and what they value. That lets her tailor sessions to daily struggles like sleep, stress, or work pressure instead of fitting someone into a label.

Her background includes extensive work with veterans and service members, with a focus on post-deployment concerns and substance use. Over time she broadened her practice to address a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy problems, and addiction-related concerns.

In sessions she mixes practical strategies with a supportive stance. She draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness, client-centered work, and motivational interviewing to help people change patterns and set manageable goals.

Masha emphasizes collaboration. She aims to understand where a person is coming from and what they hope to achieve. Her work includes straightforward problem solving, some humor when appropriate, and continued learning to adapt to each person's needs.

Approaches and what online work looks like

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them stop you from moving toward what matters. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and struggles around meaning and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and testing practical changes to shift mood and routines.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try tools that fit those needs. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most, so clients are part of choosing their path.

Confirm current session format options before booking, since specific online or in-person formats aren’t listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing appointments during a lunch break. It can also allow shorter check-ins when energy or bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, use these methods to help people practice skills, set small goals, and bring changes into daily routines.
