Hi! Welcome to my page. If you are exploring my profile you are likely searching for a counselor that would be the best fit for you. Here is some information about myself to help you decide if I would be a good fit as your counselor.
I am a licensed clinical social worker in Missouri with over 5 years of experience. I have worked with clients from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences. I believe a diverse caseload makes me a better counselor. My experience has been focused on anxiety, grief and loss, family conflict, spiritual trauma, compassion fatigue, and significant life changes.
My counseling style is warm and collaborative. I believe in the concept of unconditional positive regard when it comes to counseling. That means I will treat you with complete acceptance and support no matter what you say. With me, counseling is always a safe place to be yourself and to explore how you feel without judgment or criticism. I take an empowerment approach with my clients and utilize techniques from client-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. What this means is that I meet you where you are at mentally and emotionally. I follow your lead in establishing goals and objectives for our time together. I will always go at your pace. Together we will work towards meeting your goals by recognizing unhelpful thinking patterns, utilizing effective coping skills, and fostering your innate strengths, abilities, and resources. I want to empower you with the skills and support needed to meet your own goals.
It takes courage to seek out support when you are struggling with something or needing a change in your life. It would be an honor for me get to know you and a privilege to come alongside you in your journey.
I look forward to working with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Miriam Bohnert. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
A great support to me!
