About Nancy

Dr. Nancy Michuda brings 28 years of clinical experience to work with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, and a broad range of life adjustments.

Background and approach

She addresses concerns such as sleep and eating difficulties, anger and impulsivity, self-esteem and body image, work and career challenges, trauma and post-traumatic stress, and issues related to adoption, attachment, autism spectrum differences, and communication problems. Her practice also includes support for LGBT concerns, hearing impaired clients, intellectual disability, and social anxiety and phobia.

Her therapeutic style is integrative and client-centered, combining evidence-based methods with a consistent emphasis on the mind-body connection. Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to support self-care and expand clients' window of tolerance, while cognitive and behavioral strategies help change unhelpful patterns.

She uses techniques drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and other proven approaches, tailoring intervention to each person's goals and needs. Dr.

Michuda is licensed in Florida (FL Psychologist PY5000) and Illinois (IL Psychologist 071.005454).

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

The practice incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to address patterns of thinking and bodily awareness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and alter unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and mood problems, while Mindfulness Therapy offers techniques to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to stress.

Attachment-Based Therapy is also used to explore relational patterns and emotional bonds, helping clients address difficulties stemming from attachment disruptions or family-related concerns. These approaches are applied with sensitivity to each person's history and current goals, and the therapist collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit best for their situation.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication needs. These formats allow clients to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations, support continuity of care during life changes, and make it easier to maintain regular sessions while balancing other responsibilities.
