About Mariam

Mariam Parekh is a clinical psychologist practicing in Colorado with ten years of professional experience. She holds psychology licensure in both Colorado and California and has worked in clinical settings since 2016. Mariam emphasizes treating common problems like anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress.

She aims to help people set clear goals and notice real progress over time. She trained at Syracuse University where she completed her PhD requirements and did clinical placements in APA-accredited settings.

Background and approach

Her internship included time at the White River Junction Veterans Association and Dartmouth, and she completed postgraduate work at Loma Linda Veterans Association. This background shapes her grounding in evidence-based care and clinical observation. Mariam uses a mix of approaches in session, including Systemic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

She focuses on practical steps clients can try between meetings, and she tracks goals so people can see change happen. Sessions aim to build skills for coping, managing emotions, and improving communication. She also supports work on relationship concerns, family-related stress, and issues tied to trauma and abuse.

Additional focuses include body image, substance use concerns, chronic illness and pain, attachment questions, and problems with commitment or control. Mariam frames healing as growth rather than fixing something broken. Outside of her clinical work she enjoys reading fantasy, watching shows about body language and therapy, and spending time with her son.

She values the reminders that play and curiosity bring to adult life.

Online support

Approaches that guide online care

Mariam commonly integrates Systemic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into her online work. Systemic Therapy looks at patterns between people and how those patterns affect stress and relationships; it can help when family dynamics or recurring interaction patterns are part of the problem. CBT focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches clear tools for managing anxiety, depression, and mood. DBT emphasizes skills for regulating strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for intense emotional reactions and frequent conflict.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as needs change. This helps people target what matters most and see which tools feel most useful in everyday life.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face when that is helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins, homework prompts, or ongoing skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other commitments.
