01About Michal
Michal Collier is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 21 years of experience. She practices from Georgia and brings two decades of work in agencies, independent practice, and online care to each session. Michal focuses on clear, practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, or big life changes.
Michal keeps sessions straightforward and goal-focused. She listens first, then helps set small, doable steps to feel better and handle problems more easily.
Background and approach
Conversations cover everyday pressures like parenting, work, caregiving, or the fallout from loss and trauma. Her background includes work across community mental health settings and a independent practice named One Affinity. That practice was created to expand access to counseling for people from many backgrounds.
Michal draws on a mix of well-established methods to match what each person needs in the moment. In session she leans toward practical tools and real skills you can use between appointments. That might look like changing unhelpful thoughts, practicing calming skills, or building stronger ways to communicate.
She also helps people manage intense emotions, set boundaries, and rebuild trust after painful experiences. People who come to Michal often want a steady, straightforward guide through tough times. She works at a pace that fits each person and adjusts plans as progress is made.
Her aim is to help people feel more capable, connected, and able to move forward.

04Online support
How Michal blends approaches for online care
Michal commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms and improve daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how relationships and early bonds shape current patterns, helping people improve closeness, trust, and communication in important relationships.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michal works with each person to identify goals, notice what helps, and adjust methods over time. She will suggest strategies and listen to feedback so the plan fits the client's needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which let people choose what works best for them. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and guided practice of skills. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins, ongoing coaching, or steady steps between longer appointments. These options make counseling more flexible and easier to fit into work, family, or caregiving schedules.
