About Mishel
Mishel Powell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) licensed in Indiana with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on common problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and codependency issues, grief and loss, and self-esteem concerns. Mishel uses straightforward conversation and practical techniques to help people notice patterns that get in the way of feeling better.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with client-centered and mindfulness approaches. Sessions include looking at thoughts and behaviors, practicing small changes, and checking what works. Mishel also uses skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and psychodynamic ideas when they fit the work.
Her style is direct and honest. She describes therapy as a practical place to try new ways of coping. People who prefer clear steps and concrete tools often find this approach useful.
Mishel has experience addressing additional areas such as addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on communication problems, domestic violence, narcissism, multicultural concerns, veterans and armed forces issues, life purpose, self-love, and women’s issues.
Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Indiana. Prospective clients select an online matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin. Mishel notes that she keeps expectations realistic and does not promise specific outcomes.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Mishel commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered work in sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving, which helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and stress. Client-centered methods emphasize listening closely to the person’s concerns and using that feedback to steer the work.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools for managing intense emotions and improving coping skills. DBT skills training can help with regulation, distress tolerance, and communication when strong reactions get in the way of daily life.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Mishel will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try approaches, and adjust based on what is helpful. The initial sessions are used to set practical aims and choose tools to practice between meetings.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session options before booking. When arranged, online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or family commitments, shorten commute time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit is impractical.
