About Miranda
Miranda Curnane is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Connecticut with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and LGBT-related concerns, as well as family and parenting challenges. Miranda aims to create a straightforward, supportive space where people can talk about what matters to them and take steps toward change.
She uses a person-centered approach that puts the client's perspective first. Miranda believes people generally know what they need and that therapy is a place to clarify goals and try new ways of coping.
Background and approach
She blends that outlook with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which teaches emotion regulation skills. Sessions tend to be practical and goal-oriented. Miranda helps clients notice unhelpful thinking, practice different responses, and build routines that reduce stress over time.
She also brings solution-focused ideas to identify small, achievable steps toward clearer family and parenting patterns. Her work includes support around relationship structures and sexuality topics such as kink and polyamory, and she has experience addressing issues tied to autism, gender dysphoria, and past domestic violence. Miranda pays attention to safety and coping when intense emotions or self-harm concerns appear.
People who prefer a collaborative, down-to-earth style often find her approach a good fit. She encourages practical tools and steady progress, and she will work with each person to set realistic, measurable goals.

How Miranda’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is often used when someone wants clearer priorities or to reduce avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that maintain anxiety or depression. It works well for stress, panic, and repetitive negative thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete skills for regulating intense emotions, handling crisis moments, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It is useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when someone struggles with impulsive behaviors.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Miranda will talk with each person about goals, daily routines, and what has worked or not worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what feels helpful.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues and work through skills together. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth or camera use is a problem. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins or written practice easier between sessions. These options help fit therapy into work, childcare, or other commitments.
