She focuses on attachment issues and related struggles like abandonment, codependency, and communication problems. Her tone is direct and calm, aimed at parents who need straightforward help.
Mariam centers her work on relationships and how they shape daily life. She uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect feelings and reactions.
Background and approach

Mariam pays attention to cultural background and personal values when shaping the work together. Her seven years as a licensed marriage and family therapist in California inform a flexible approach. She supports people coping with trauma, domestic violence aftermath, caregiving stress, and life transitions such as divorce or serious illness.

The work is intended to strengthen relationships, reduce distress, and increase day-to-day coping.

Online support
How attachment and skills work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns shape feelings and behavior. Online sessions can help identify repeating dynamics and practice new ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, listening stance. This approach helps people feel understood and clarifies their own goals during conversations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That may mean combining attachment-focused exploration with CBT exercises or a client-centered check-in to guide what comes next.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face when a deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is best. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing moments of reflection or quick questions between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain steady progress.
