About Michal
Michal Collier is a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 21 years of clinical experience. She practices in Georgia and offers counseling through video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Michal focuses on creating a calm, direct space where people can talk about what’s hard and begin to make small, practical changes.
She listens for the patterns that keep a problem repeating. Sessions often include straightforward tools to manage anxiety, anger, mood shifts, or stress.
Background and approach
Michal blends talk with exercises that people can try between sessions, such as simple mindfulness practices and skills to handle difficult moments. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to help people understand relationship patterns and on cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical behavior strategies and client-centered conversations are used when they fit a person’s goals.
This mix helps tailor the process to each person’s situation. Michal has supported people through grief, trauma, identity questions, career changes, and parenting stress. She also helps with chronic conditions like bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue by focusing on daily routines and coping plans.
She explains options plainly and helps people set realistic next steps. To start a conversation she asks about current struggles, what’s been tried, and what a better week would look like. That information guides a short-term plan with room to adjust as progress is made.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work pays attention to relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current reactions. Online sessions use conversation and reflection exercises to identify these patterns and try new ways of relating. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. In remote sessions this often means setting brief between-session tasks and reviewing what happened.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That may mean starting with practical CBT tools, then adding mindfulness or attachment-based exercises if they fit better. The plan is revisited and adjusted as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video is useful for longer conversations and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are helpful for short check-ins, homework review, or brief coaching between longer sessions. Together these options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
