About Michal

Michal Collier is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 21 years of clinical experience providing therapy in Georgia.

Background and approach

She has worked in online settings, mental health agencies, and independent practice environments, supporting people with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, trauma and grief, and stress-related issues. Her practice emphasizes practical strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy alongside attachment-informed and client-centered methods to address presenting problems and build coping skills.

Collier’s work also encompasses areas such as anger, intimacy-related difficulties, parenting, self-esteem, career-related concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue, as well as focused topics like abandonment, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and communication or control issues.

She founded One Affinity to expand access to quality mental health care and has collaborated with other agencies to serve diverse needs. Prospective clients can expect an individualized approach that blends evidence-informed techniques and empathic listening to help clarify goals and develop workable tools for change.

How specific approaches translate to online care

Michal Collier integrates cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment-informed work into online treatment in ways that translate well to remote formats. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, teaching practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Attachment-based therapy explores patterns of relating and emotional bonds to help improve communication, trust, and intimacy in relationships.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative; the therapist will work with each client to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing a single path. That process typically involves discussing what feels most relevant, trying tools in session, and adjusting methods over time so the work stays practical and goal oriented.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care across life transitions, reduce travel time, and access consistent support from licensed professionals who adapt evidence-informed methods for remote delivery.
