About Micah
Micah Shuey welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, mood shifts, or struggles with substance use. She focuses on helping individuals regain steadiness, build confidence, and find practical ways to manage daily life. Micah is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Indiana with ten years of clinical experience.
She uses straightforward, talk-based therapy to help people name what’s happening and try different ways to respond. Sessions focus on real problems and small steps that can make daily life feel easier.
Background and approach
Micah aims to create a nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared openly. Her work includes support for depression, bipolar mood concerns, trauma and abuse, and a range of anxiety issues such as panic, social anxiety, phobias, and obsessive-compulsive behaviors. She also addresses addictions, including drug and alcohol concerns and smoking or vaping cessation.
Micah helps people coping with life transitions and postpartum or seasonal mood shifts. Practically, she blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing. That mix helps people test new habits, shift unhelpful thinking, and find reasons to keep working toward goals.
Micah keeps goals concrete and progress measurable so steps forward are clear. Micah brings a decade of counseling experience and two decades working in the mental health field to each session. She meets people where they are and works collaboratively to choose approaches that fit their needs and pace.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to what matters most to each person. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offers empathy, and helps clarify goals and values so change feels achievable.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, panic, obsessive behaviors, and low mood.
Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It’s useful for addictions, smoking or vaping cessation, and when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Micah will work together with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort. That process is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video is helpful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and daily life while keeping focus on practical change and ongoing support.
