About Michal

Michal Collier is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 21 years of experience in Georgia. She works with adults who bring concerns like stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, anger, depression, grief, and issues around intimacy and parenting. She also supports people facing trauma, caregiving strain, ADHD, and career or life transitions.

Michal uses practical, skills-based methods in sessions. She listens for patterns in relationships and behavior. Then she helps people try different ways to respond to anger, frustration, or recurring conflict. Sessions focus on tools that can be practiced between meetings.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. She also uses client-centered techniques to center the person’s goals, and cognitive behavioral methods to identify thoughts that fuel strong emotions. Dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness practices are often used to steady intense feelings and build coping skills.

Michal has spent two decades working in community mental health, online settings, and private practice. That range of experience shapes a practical, problem-focused style. She helps people break down problems into manageable steps and track small changes over time.

People who choose Michal are usually looking for straightforward strategies to handle anger, reduce stress, or repair relationships. Her sessions mix short-term skill teaching with deeper work on patterns that keep recurring problems alive.

How Michal uses therapy approaches online

Michal draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change the thoughts that intensify anger and anxiety. CBT breaks problems into small parts and provides step-by-step techniques for testing unhelpful beliefs and changing behaviors.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationship patterns influence present reactions. That approach helps people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and offers different ways to connect and set limits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michal will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. She mixes short-term skill teaching with longer work on recurring patterns, and adjusts pace based on the person’s needs.
