About Myia

Myia Kramer is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 15 years of experience. She began clinical work in 2007 and has worked across community settings and program leadership. Her listed areas include addictions, relationship and family concerns, self esteem, and depression, with additional focus on blended family issues and related topics.

She started her career supporting high-risk children and adolescents through wraparound services at community agencies. That early work involved coordinating care across schools, families, and social services. After teaching in Japan for three years through the JET Programme, she returned to the U.S. and completed her licensure hours.

Myia went on to serve as a Clinical Program Manager for a Northern California county, focusing on people with severe mental health and co-occurring diagnosis. She now manages an Addiction Medicine Program and continues clinical work alongside program duties. Her background combines direct clinical practice with administrative leadership.

She states a commitment to serving the BIPOC community, especially women of color, families, and teens. She uses a variety of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adjusts approaches to each person’s situation and abilities. Topics she commonly addresses include communication problems, codependency, infidelity, and parenting in blended family situations.

Outside clinical hours she serves on a board for a community agency that engages youth, families, and elders, and presents on mental health topics for community and professional groups. To begin work she asks people to use the online matching and scheduling steps provided.

Approaches often used online and how they help

Myia lists use of evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One common approach focuses on behavioral patterns and practical skills change. That work helps with addiction-related behaviors, codependency, and building new routines.

Another approach centers on attachment and relationship patterns. This helps people understand loyalty conflicts, communication breakdowns, and how past family dynamics shape current blended household stress.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will review a person’s goals, history, and daily demands, then suggest which methods to try first. Adjustments are made as progress and preferences become clearer.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work and family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to travel to an office. Therapists and licensed professionals can help people test whether a particular session rhythm or method fits their blended household needs.
