About Micah
Micah Shuey is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, mood disorders, and life transitions.
Background and approach
With ten years of counseling experience and over two decades working in the mental health field, she draws on practical skills to support clients coping with depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, and substance use concerns.
She approaches each person as an individual and works to build a respectful, nonjudgmental space where difficult thoughts and feelings can be explored. Her style blends elements of client-centered care, cognitive behavioral techniques, and motivational interviewing to help clients identify patterns, set achievable goals, and develop coping strategies.
Micah emphasizes collaboration, tailoring interventions to what each person finds most useful and realistic. She encourages taking the first step toward change and offers steady support through that process, helping clients strengthen motivation, reduce distress, and navigate challenging life changes.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing practical ways to change them. In online sessions this often looks like collaboratively setting goals, practicing new coping skills between sessions, and reviewing what works in daily life to reduce anxiety, depressive symptoms, or compulsive behaviors.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens and reflects to help the client gain clarity and self-directed insight. This approach supports people working through self-esteem concerns, life changes, and emotional processing by prioritizing the client’s perspective and pacing.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, consider a client’s goals and preferences, and adapt techniques over time to better fit individual needs. Decisions about methods are made together so the plan feels practical and relevant.
Online work with Micah includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent appointments, try in-the-moment skills, and stay connected when life or location makes in-person care difficult.
