About Mariam
Mariam Ross is a LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Washington with 25 years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, and a range of relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also works with concerns such as addiction, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. Sessions are grounded in Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based, client-centered, cognitive behavioral, and dialectical behavior methods. That means conversations often look at emotions, interaction patterns, and the thoughts that keep problems going. Work can include learning skills, naming emotions, and trying new ways of responding to difficult situations.
Mariam draws on long experience to offer concrete help. She can talk through coping strategies, point to community resources, and suggest small steps that fit daily life. When people face grief or major life changes, she combines talk therapy with pragmatic support to help manage immediate needs.
The practice addresses additional concerns such as gender dysphoria, personality disorder features, seasonal affective disorder, and self-harm in the course of therapy. Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Washington. She does not work with international clients.

How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and naming strong emotions and the patterns those emotions create in relationships. Online sessions using EFT often center on noticing feelings, describing interaction cycles, and practicing new ways of responding to upsetting moments. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current reactions and helps people recognize attachment needs and responses in present-day relationships.These methods are described and explored together with the client. The therapist helps clients decide which approach fits best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as work progresses.
Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - sessions can be scheduled around work or family time, avoid travel, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find video helpful for visual cues while others prefer audio; the therapist will discuss what works practically for each person.
