About Michala

Michala Haag is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Michala also supports people facing grief, compassion fatigue, career questions, and intimacy-related issues.

Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Sessions focus on real problems and practical steps. She listens first, then helps clients try new ways of handling things that feel stuck.

Background and approach

Michala uses proven methods like cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and take small steps toward change. She also draws on emotionally-focused work and motivational interviewing to improve communication and boost motivation. Clients can expect a compassionate, down-to-earth style.

Michala aims to help people build clearer boundaries, reduce shame and guilt, and reconnect with what matters to them. She pays attention to attachment and body image issues when those come up. Her practice offers several remote session formats.

Michala brings three years of experience as an LMHC - licensed mental health counselor - and keeps sessions practical so clients can use what they learn between meetings.

Therapy approaches and online options that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them control choices. It focuses on values and small actions that move a person toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding emotions in relationships and improving how people connect and communicate.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michala will collaborate with each person to pick or blend methods based on goals, needs, and what feels comfortable. She checks in and adjusts the plan if something is not helping.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text messaging can fit between commitments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to practice skills in everyday life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
