About Mikeya

Mikeya Vega is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people regain stability. She blends talk therapy with targeted tools so clients can manage stress and reduce anxiety. Sessions aim to make daily life feel more manageable and purposeful.

Vega draws on six years of clinical experience in Georgia. She works with adults facing depression, trauma, addictions, parenting struggles, grief, and relationship or intimacy-related issues.

Background and approach

She also addresses concerns such as sleep and eating problems, ADHD symptoms, anger, and self-esteem challenges. Her approach includes client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), emotionally-focused work, and EMDR for trauma. In session she helps people identify triggers, practice new coping skills, and test small changes that improve day-to-day comfort.

Hypnotherapy and coaching techniques are also offered when appropriate. Practical scheduling is part of her practice. Evening and weekend support can make therapy fit a busy workweek.

Sessions can be arranged in formats that match the client’s needs. The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling. Vega focuses on clear goals and steady progress.

The aim is to reduce the hold of past events, increase confidence in the present, and move toward a more hopeful future.

Online approaches that focus on skills and healing

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building a collaborative relationship so the client feels heard and respected. It helps people set their own goals and work at a comfortable pace while the therapist follows their lead.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills for issues like anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating challenges.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening relationships. It is useful when impulsivity, anger, or intense emotional reactions interfere with daily life.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods in session, and adjust strategies to match what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together which combination of approaches feels most useful.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work and family obligations and to follow a consistent plan. For many people, remote sessions let therapeutic tools be practiced in real life between meetings, which can speed real-world progress.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
