About Micah

She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, based in Indiana with a decade of counseling experience.

She focuses on common struggles such as depression, bipolar mood patterns, anxiety disorders, and addiction. Micah also helps with low self-esteem, motivation, and life transitions.
How Micah works
She listens for what matters most to each person and tailors sessions to fit their goals. In sessions she uses client-centered work to build a nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. She applies cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and develop realistic coping strategies.
Motivational interviewing is part of how she supports people working through substance use or change-resistant behaviors. Micah draws on ten years of clinical counseling experience and more than twenty years in mental health settings overall. Her background includes repeated work with mood disorders, psychotic disorders, anxiety conditions, and substance use concerns.
That experience helps her recognize patterns and offer concrete tools. People can expect a direct but compassionate approach. Micah helps set short-term goals and track progress between sessions.
She aims to make therapy a practical part of everyday life, not just something that happens in the therapy hour.

How Micah's Approaches Work Online
Micah uses client-centered work to make sessions feel respectful and focused on the person's priorities. This approach means the therapist listens closely, follows the client's lead, and helps identify clear goals and next steps.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking, test new ideas, and practice coping skills for anxiety, mood struggles, and obsessive behaviors.
Motivational interviewing is used when someone is unsure about change or dealing with substance use. It helps people find internal motivation and make small, manageable steps toward their goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Micah will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then shape sessions to fit. That collaborative planning can include mixing techniques from different approaches as progress is tracked.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging - make therapy more flexible. Video works well for deeper conversations and when visual cues help. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging allow for shorter check-ins and quick reflection between appointments. These options help therapy fit into varied schedules and daily life.
