About Nancy
Dr. Nancy Michuda is a Florida psychologist with 28 years of experience. She holds doctoral and master of science degrees from the University of Miami and is licensed as a psychologist in Florida and Illinois. She lists concerns such as stress, anxiety, parenting, self esteem, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping problems, anger, career issues, and depression.
Her sessions are practical and structured. She uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based work, dialectical behavior strategies, and mindfulness. She focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits and trying different ways of responding. Sessions tend to involve clear steps, skill practice, and regular check-ins about progress.
Dr. Michuda places attention on the mind-body link and on increasing a person’s tolerance for distress. That can mean simple breathing or body-awareness practices alongside thinking and behavior work. She asks for frequent client feedback to keep the work relevant to what matters most right now.
Her background in developmental and pediatric psychology informs help around parenting and adoption-related issues as well as concerns tied to neurodiversity and intellectual disability. She also works with body image, eating-related problems, and communication difficulties.
Work with her typically looks like short-term goal setting combined with longer-term skill building. People can expect straightforward suggestions, homework practice, and review of what is and isn’t working. The therapist uses English for all sessions and does not accept international clients.
How her approaches translate to online work
CBT emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and everyday stress by breaking problems into clear steps and practice tasks.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters and focus action toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can aid in coping with grief, life changes, and ongoing worry.
Attachment-based ideas look at relationship patterns and how early connections affect current communication and closeness. This can be helpful for parenting concerns, adoption-related issues, and family conflict seen from an individual perspective.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will review goals and preferences with the client and suggest CBT, ACT, attachment-based techniques, DBT skills, or mindfulness as fits the situation. Decisions about methods are collaborative and adjusted based on what is helpful.
Confirm current session options before booking to know which online formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports using real-life examples from home or work during sessions and practicing skills between meetings without requiring extra travel.
