Miranda Wichelns, LCSW, CSW

Miranda Wichelns is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, licensed in Colorado and California, with 19 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Miranda also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and family of origin problems.

She has spent much of her career in hospice, palliative care, pediatric oncology, bereavement and grief counseling, and supporting people living with serious illness. That background means she is familiar with both sudden and ongoing loss, complex caregiving demands, and the emotional effects of medical crises. Miranda draws on practical approaches to help people manage day-to-day strain and strong feelings.

In sessions she combines client-centered work with attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral techniques. She uses emotionally-focused and existential perspectives when people need to address meaning, relationships, or deep emotional pain. Sessions tend to be straightforward and person-focused, with attention to what helps between meetings.

Miranda aims to help people reduce the weight of grief, improve coping with chronic stress, and find clearer ways to make decisions after big life changes. She works in English and practices from Colorado. For people considering starting therapy, she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

Her counseling style is calm and respectful. She supports practical planning, emotion-focused conversations, and skills people can try in daily life.
