About Miranda
Miranda Shumate is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and self esteem concerns. She brings ten years of experience in community mental health, crisis intervention, and independent practice. Miranda aims to make the first step feel manageable and to offer steady support as issues come up.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Miranda listens first, then helps people identify what matters to them and what gets in the way. She uses accessible tools to reduce overwhelm and build coping skills that people can use day to day.
Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That mix helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings, try new ways of responding, and practice small changes that add up.
Miranda also draws from Attachment-Based Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when relationships, intense emotions, or patterns of reacting are part of the concern. She focuses on clear, manageable steps rather than jargon, so progress feels concrete.
She works from Colorado as an LCSW and also holds LCSW registration in Illinois. Sessions are conducted in English. People who want to begin can use the continue button on this profile to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.
