About Myamaria
Myamaria Shields is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, family concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. She aims to make room for practical change and steady progress in short, clear steps.
She approaches therapy believing each person knows their own story best. Sessions are collaborative and centered on the client's goals. The therapist highlights strengths clients already have and builds on them to face current challenges.
Myamaria draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood concerns and patterns that keep problems stuck. She helps people name what is happening, practice new ways of relating, and build confidence over time. Work may include talking through family conflict, improving communication, and coping with stress or symptoms of post-traumatic stress.
The practice also supports people dealing with caregiver strain, divorce or separation, issues from family of origin, and workplace stress. Myamaria can help with feelings of guilt, shame, abandonment, and questions about life purpose and self-love. The emphasis is on practical steps that fit into daily life.
She is licensed as an LCSW in Florida and also holds an LCSW license in Utah. Sessions are conducted in English and she works from Utah. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy
Many of the approaches Myamaria uses focus on clear, structured ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. One common method helps people recognize patterns that feed anxiety or low mood and then practices small behavioral changes to reduce symptoms and build confidence. This approach is useful for stress, depression, social anxiety, and work-related concerns.Another approach emphasizes improving communication and relationships. It involves identifying interaction patterns, trying different ways of speaking and listening, and rehearsing new responses. This work can help with family conflict, caregiver strain, and issues around separation or divorce.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and day-to-day reality. Plans are adjusted as progress is made and new priorities appear.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. For some people, shorter check-ins or phone calls can be easier to manage during work breaks, and video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when that helps.
