About Michal
Michal Collier is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 21 years of clinical experience. She practices in Georgia and offers counseling by video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. Michal often works with people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and parenting challenges.
Over two decades she has worked in agencies, online, and in independent practice. That range means she is familiar with short-term goals and longer-term work. Sessions focus on clear steps clients can take between meetings and on practical ways to manage strong emotions.
Background and approach
Her approach blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered listening. Michal also uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. These tools are used to help people change unhelpful thoughts, build emotion regulation skills, and improve communication.
Clients bring many concerns such as trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, ADHD, mood changes, and issues around intimacy or identity. Michal pays attention to how past relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and shift those patterns in everyday life. In sessions she emphasizes collaboration and small, achievable changes.
Conversations are paced to each person’s needs and often include practical homework, mindfulness practices, and role-play for communication. The goal is clearer relationships, steadier mood, and better coping with life’s transitions.

Approaches that can be used in online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how earlier relationships affect current bonds and trust. Michal uses this approach to help people notice old patterns and practice new ways of relating in close relationships. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and helping each person set their own goals. This approach supports self-understanding and lets the client guide what to focus on in sessions. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michal will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then test strategies collaboratively so adjustments can be made as needed. Online therapy makes scheduling and access easier for many people. Video calls let conversations feel face-to-face, phone sessions can fit a break at work or use less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging are useful for brief check-ins or when writing feels clearer. These options give flexibility to match therapy to a person’s day-to-day life and comfort.Questions people ask about Michal
