About Nancy

Dr. Nancy Michuda brings 28 years of clinical experience to work with people facing stress, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting and family challenges, ADHD, eating and sleeping difficulties, self-esteem issues, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She also attends to related concerns such as attachment issues, adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image and communication problems, impulsivity and intellectual disability, and social anxiety and phobia. Licensed in Florida and Illinois, she integrates multiple evidence-based approaches to tailor care to each persons needs.

Her style blends structured therapeutic techniques with mindfulness and an emphasis on the mind-body connection. Dr.

Michuda frequently invites client input to guide sessions, aiming to expand coping capacity and increase emotional tolerance while remaining warm and compassionate. Her background in developmental and pediatric psychology informs a sensitivity to family dynamics and the needs of children and young adults, and she adapts interventions to match developmental context and family goals.

Practical collaboration is central to her work: she checks in often with clients to ensure therapy addresses the most pressing concerns and supports clearer thinking, improved functioning, and a greater sense of empowerment in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Michuda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and modify unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and many daily coping problems. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values, practice acceptance of difficult experiences, and commit to actions that align with their priorities. Attachment-Based Therapy is another strand of her work, especially when addressing family dynamics, adoption and foster care concerns, and relationship patterns that affect emotional regulation.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to explore goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, and then tailors techniques from these models to meet those needs while checking in regularly about progress.

Online therapy with Dr. Michuda is offered through multiple formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - to increase flexibility and accessibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy lives, and select the format that feels most comfortable for each person.
