About Nancy
Dr. Nancy Michuda is a licensed psychologist in Florida and Illinois with 28 years of clinical experience. She holds a PhD and MS from the University of Miami. She helps people handle stress, anxiety, anger, parenting concerns, sleep and eating issues, grief, trauma, ADHD, and mood problems.
Her approach mixes several established therapies. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based methods, and mindfulness practices. Sessions focus on practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and coping with life changes.
Dr. Michuda often brings attention to the mind-body connection. That can mean using mindfulness exercises alongside behavioral strategies. The work tends to emphasize noticing patterns, testing small changes, and building tolerances for difficult feelings.
She involves people in planning the work and checks in often to make sure the focus matches what matters most. Many sessions include concrete techniques for reducing reactivity, improving sleep and appetite regulation, and handling stress at home or work.
Her background in developmental and pediatric psychology informs how she thinks about attachment, parenting, and adoption-related concerns. She also addresses issues linked to neurodiversity, impulsivity, and communication problems. People seeking to better manage anger or persistent frustration can expect direct, skill-based work alongside reflective discussion.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her work focuses on clarifying personal values and learning to take small actions toward those values even when emotions are intense. It can help with anger, low mood, and life transitions by shifting attention from fighting feelings to living by chosen priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In sessions people learn concrete skills to challenge unhelpful thinking, change reactive habits, and test new ways of responding to stressful situations.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention exercises and grounding practices. These techniques support regulating strong emotions, improving sleep, and reducing impulsive reactions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying a skill for a few sessions and adjusting based on results.
Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy week easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also makes practicing mindfulness exercises and behavior experiments in real-life settings more straightforward without promising a particular format.
