About Michal
Michal Collier is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 21 years of experience. She draws on a long career in agencies and independent practice to help people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to turn. She focuses on clear, practical support.
Sessions often center on talking through current problems, learning skills to cope better, and finding realistic steps forward. She aims to make sessions feel straightforward and useful rather than overwhelming.
How Michal works
Michal uses approaches that emphasize relationships and present-day coping. That can include looking at how attachments shape reactions, using cognitive tools to change unhelpful thoughts, and practicing mindfulness to reduce reactivity. She adjusts techniques to fit what each person needs in the moment.
Her background includes work in online therapy, community mental health agencies, and independent practice settings. That mix has shaped a flexible style that fits varied life situations and schedules. People come to Michal with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, ADHD, career issues, and compassion fatigue.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with an emphasis on building skills that carry into daily life.

How Michal’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Michal uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. This work helps when relationship patterns, trust, or closeness are causing stress or confusion.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying practical experiments to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and habit patterns that keep people stuck.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Michal works together with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences. Treatment can shift over time as needs change, and she checks in regularly to make sure the plan still feels helpful.
Online formats provide real practical benefits. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues and recreate a face-to-face feel. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick updates, coaching between sessions, or for people who prefer typing over talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or busy schedules.
