About Mycah

Mycah Whiting is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia who focuses on family and parenting concerns among many other life challenges. She brings 13 years of clinical experience and an empathetic, intuitive presence to sessions. Parents and caregivers who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or substance-related issues may find practical help and steady support in her approach.

The first conversations center on what matters most to each person and family.

Background and approach

She uses plain, collaborative talk rather than one-size-fits-all methods. Sessions aim to identify clear goals and simple steps to try between meetings. Mycah blends techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with a client-centered stance to address mood, coping, and behavior.

Her experience includes work with depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, intimacy-related struggles, and eating or body-image concerns. That background informs how she helps people untangle family patterns, communication problems, and issues tied to shame or guilt. Mycah also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people making changes, and on Existential Therapy when life purpose or larger meaning comes up.

Together with each client she chooses which tools to use for the situation at hand. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Costs vary with location and are billed via a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Mycah Uses Therapy Methods Online

Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the center of sessions, focusing on what each person or parent says matters most and creating a supportive space for honest talk. This approach is useful when someone needs empathy, reflection, and an individualized plan rather than a fixed protocol.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. It can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day parenting or relationship challenges.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress. It is often used when impulsivity, anger, or intense emotional reactions interfere with daily life.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Mycah will collaborate with each person to identify goals, test approaches, and adjust as progress is made. She helps clients choose which techniques fit their needs and comfort level rather than imposing a single path.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules, allow follow-up between meetings, and let people use the format that feels most accessible to them.

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.
