About Nancy

Dr. Nancy Michuda is a psychologist licensed in Florida and Illinois who focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and related concerns. She brings 28 years of experience and a calm, practical style to sessions. People come to her for help with sleep, eating and body-image struggles, parenting and family challenges, ADHD, grief, and coping with life changes.

Her background includes an MS and PhD from the University of Miami in Developmental/Pediatric Psychology. She uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. Mindfulness and attention to the mind-body link are woven into her work to help people notice stress reactions and learn self-care skills.

In sessions she checks in often with the person she is working with to make sure the work matches their goals. She focuses on teaching skills people can use between meetings, such as emotion regulation, problem-solving, and mindful awareness. She keeps language simple and practical so parents and individuals can try new strategies right away.

Nancy aims to increase each person’s tolerance for strong feelings and everyday stressors. She emphasizes warmth, listening, and collaborative goal setting. Her approach is steady and solution-focused while honoring each person’s pace and needs.

Her practice is based in Florida and she provides services in English. People who want to begin can follow the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most to you and taking small steps toward those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful habits and reduce anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes simple awareness practices that help people notice physical and emotional reactions and choose a different response instead of reacting automatically.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to your goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying practical tools together, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan as you go.

The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into their day, require less travel, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can make it simpler to practice skills between meetings and to bring real-life examples into sessions. Licensed professionals can help arrange a rhythm of meetings that fits your schedule and the goals you set together.
