Micah Shuey, LMHC

Micah Shuey is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana. She brings ten years of counseling experience and a long history in the mental health field to sessions. Micah focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, mood shifts, and major life changes. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where thoughts and everyday habits can be talked through without judgment.

Micah works with people facing depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, and substance use challenges. She uses straightforward conversation and practical tools to help people notice thought patterns and change unhelpful habits. Her style is warm and direct, with emphasis on small, doable steps that fit into daily life.

In sessions she draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and follow each person’s pace, and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to link thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Motivational Interviewing helps when people are weighing choices or trying to change substance use and other habits. These approaches guide how she builds plans and measures progress.

Micah encourages people to set realistic goals and try concrete strategies between sessions. She supports quitting smoking or vaping, coping with panic or social anxiety, and managing seasonal or postpartum mood changes. The focus stays on practical adjustments that improve day-to-day functioning.

People who value clear feedback and collaborative problem solving often find her approach helpful. If you want help with thoughts and everyday habits, Micah can work with you to identify next steps and keep progress manageable.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following what matters most to the person. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist reflect what you say and help you explore thoughts and everyday habits at your own pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In an online session CBT can involve tracking thoughts, practicing small behavioral experiments, and using brief exercises between meetings to shift unhelpful patterns.

Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is ambivalent about change. Online sessions can support weighing options, building motivation, and setting manageable goals for quitting substances or changing routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with you to choose methods that match your needs, goals, and preferences. You and the therapist will try strategies and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, because the profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and fit short check-ins into a busy day, while allowing time for worksheets and follow-up tasks between meetings.
