About Nancy
Dr. Nancy Michuda is a licensed psychologist practicing in Florida. She brings 28 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes. Her work also covers parenting concerns, family difficulties, attention and impulse problems, and issues related to adoption and foster care.
She trained at the University of Miami, where she earned an MS and a PhD in Developmental/Pediatric Psychology. Dr. Michuda holds psychologist licenses in Florida (PY5000) and Illinois (071.005454). Her background includes long experience using a mix of therapeutic methods and paying attention to both emotional and physical self-care.
Her style blends practical skills with mindfulness. Sessions often include clear strategies from cognitive behavioral approaches alongside acceptance-oriented work and grounding skills from mindfulness. Dialectical behavior ideas and attachment-focused thinking are also part of the mix when they fit the concern.
Dr. Michuda emphasizes collaborating with clients. She checks in often to make sure therapy addresses what matters most. The goal is to help people feel more capable, calm, and able to handle everyday challenges.
She applies this flexible approach to areas such as trauma, eating and sleeping problems, body image and communication struggles, and mood disorders. Parents looking for support around fatherhood issues, family stress, or adoption and foster care topics can expect straightforward guidance and practical steps.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr. Michuda often blends cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy to give clear tools and present-moment awareness. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce reactivity and improve sleep and eating habits.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify values and take committed steps toward what matters. That approach can be useful when someone is coping with grief, chronic stress, or life changes. Choosing the right mix of methods is collaborative - the therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and adjust the plan together.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or remove commuting time. Therapists and licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and ACT-based goal work for remote sessions so progress continues even when meeting virtually.
