About Myia
Myia Kramer is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California with 15 years of clinical experience. She began her career in 2007 working in community agencies, providing Wraparound services to high-risk young people with complex mental health needs. Myia later completed her licensure hours and moved into program leadership in Northern California.
She now manages an Addiction Medicine Program and continues clinical work alongside administrative responsibilities. Her early international experience included three years teaching English in Japan with the JET Programme.
How Myia works
That time shaped her cultural sensitivity and her interest in working with diverse communities. Myia has also worked as a Clinical Program Manager focused on people with severe mental health and dual diagnosis needs. Myia has a long-standing commitment to the BIPOC community, and she highlights support for women of color, families, and teens in her practice.
She adapts her approach to each person, tailoring sessions to meet their needs and abilities. Her background includes hands-on work with addictions, depression, relationship and family concerns, and self-esteem difficulties. Outside direct clinical work she serves on the board of a community agency that engages youth, families, and older adults.
She also presents on mental health topics for community groups and professional organizations. These roles keep her connected to local needs and practical resources. Prospective clients who value practical, experienced guidance may find her style useful.
She blends program-level experience with direct therapeutic work to address issues such as addiction, attachment concerns, family problems, and communication challenges.

Evidence-based approaches and online options
Myia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-world change. One common approach helps people understand how past relationships shape current patterns and attachment needs; this is useful for people facing relationship, attachment, or family-of-origin issues. Another practical method addresses addictive behaviors and co-occurring conditions by identifying triggers, building coping skills, and creating step-by-step plans to reduce harmful behavior.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process includes checking in and adjusting techniques as progress is made.
Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins around work, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that helps. Licensed professionals often use online sessions to keep therapeutic momentum between in-person visits, coordinate with local services, and provide support that fits into everyday schedules.
