Micah ShueyLMHC

Micah Shuey is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Indiana with ten years of clinical counseling experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, mood struggles, addiction, or big life changes. She aims to make the first step into therapy easier and more manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.

Micah listens without judgment and creates space for people to talk through fears and strong emotions. She commonly supports those coping with depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, and substance use concerns. Her approach focuses on practical steps and collaboration rather than long lectures.

She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her work when people want concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is used to build readiness and momentum for change, especially around addiction and habit shifts.

Micah has spent over a decade providing counseling and more than 20 years working in mental health roles. That background informs a down-to-earth style and an emphasis on realistic goals. She works with people to set small, achievable steps and to track progress over time.

If someone is seeking help for postpartum mood changes, obsessive or compulsive behavior, panic, phobias, or smoking and vaping cessation, Micah lists these among her focus areas. Prospective clients in Indiana who read this profile should confirm current session options before scheduling.

How her methods translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy means the conversation follows what matters most to the person. The therapist listens closely and helps shape goals that feel relevant and manageable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing thought and behavior patterns and trying small experiments to change how someone feels and acts. Motivational Interviewing is about finding personal reasons to change and building confidence step by step.

Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. Micah will work with each person to figure out what feels most useful based on their needs, goals, and comfort. That way the plan evolves from the first session rather than being fixed ahead of time.

Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into daily life, for example by saving travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a work break. The exact session formats offered should be confirmed before booking since they are not listed here. Many people find that meeting from a convenient spot helps them stay consistent with therapy and try new coping skills between appointments.
