About Nancy
Dr. Nancy Michuda is a Florida psychologist with 28 years of practice experience. She holds the credential IL Psychologist 071.005454 and FL Psychologist PY5000. Her stated areas include stress, anxiety, family and parenting concerns, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, mood disorders, and related issues.
Dr. Michuda trained in developmental and pediatric psychology and uses an eclectic mix of methods. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), attachment-based ideas, and mindfulness. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps and strategies adults can use at home to manage stress, sleep, eating, anger, and everyday parenting strains.
She often emphasizes the mind-body link and teaches simple mindfulness practices to lower reactivity and increase tolerance for distress. Work in sessions includes looking at thoughts and behaviors, trying new coping skills, and practicing short exercises between meetings. The aim is steady, manageable change rather than sudden fixes.
Dr. Michuda consults with parents about adoption and foster care issues, communication problems, fatherhood concerns, and attachment difficulties. She also notes experience with autism spectrum concerns, intellectual disability, hearing impairment, and food-related issues when these affect family life and caregiving.
Her approach invites regular input from the person seeking help so therapy stays focused on what matters most at home. Sessions are practical, paced to the individual, and designed to help people feel more able to handle daily demands and relationship strain.
How sessions work
How her approaches inform online work
Dr. Michuda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and low mood through concrete exercises. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is applied to clarify values and build small, doable actions that fit family life. Mindfulness practices are taught as brief exercises to lower reactivity and improve focus in everyday routines.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively with the adult seeking help to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time based on the person's feedback.
Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy home life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or removing the need to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals often use this flexibility to integrate brief skills practice into daily routines and to support steady progress without major disruptions to family schedules.
