About Miranda

Miranda Shumate is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience. She is an LCSW and CSW who practices in Colorado and works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Miranda aims to make the first step feel manageable.

She listens with attention and asks clear questions to understand what is most pressing. Sessions focus on practical, usable skills alongside talking through painful memories and feelings.

Background and approach

Her approach combines attachment-based ideas with cognitive and behavioral tools. That means she pays attention to relationships and patterns that shape how someone connects and copes, while also teaching strategies to change distressing thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness and acceptance tools are used to help people tolerate hard emotions without getting overwhelmed.

She draws on experience from community mental health, crisis work, and independent practice. That background shapes a calm, steady style that balances problem-solving with emotional support. Miranda often helps people manage symptoms of panic, mood problems, and post-traumatic stress.

In sessions she works collaboratively to set goals and test what helps. Treatment plans are tailored to each person and updated as progress is made. Her aim is to help people feel more grounded, less stuck, and better able to carry on with daily life.

Online support

How attachment work and skills translate online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape feelings and patterns. Online sessions use conversation and reflective exercises to notice how attachment patterns show up in current relationships and daily life, helping people build more supported ways of connecting.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take small actions toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with structured exercises and practice to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Miranda will collaborate with each person to choose and adjust methods based on needs, goals, and what feels most useful. That process is practical and flexible rather than fixed, and changes are made when something isn’t helping.

Online sessions offer several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and visual cues, phone sessions are often simpler when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can fit quick check-ins or support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping therapeutic continuity.
