Michal Collier, LPC

Michal Collier, LPC, brings 21 years of professional counseling experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through a variety of life challenges. As a Licensed Professional Counselor - a credential that denotes formal training and state authorization to provide therapeutic services - she has provided care in online settings, at community mental health agencies, and in her private practice. Michal founded One Affinity to expand access to compassionate, evidence-informed care for people from diverse backgrounds and life stages.

Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns including stress and anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, LGBT-related issues, parenting and blended family challenges, anger, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life transitions. She and her team draw on established therapeutic methods to tailor treatment to each person and family served, honoring individual goals and cultural context.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Michal Collier integrates Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early bonds influence present relationships and emotional patterns, helping clients address attachment injuries, intimacy concerns, and family dynamics in ways that foster safer connections. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-focused approach that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with strategies that reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy is another core element of her work, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's pace and priorities to build insight and self-directed change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Michal collaborates with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she tailors methods over time so the plan fits the individual or family rather than forcing a single model on every case.

Online therapy with Michal is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities. These options increase accessibility for those who cannot attend in-person appointments and support continuity of care when life circumstances change, while allowing licensed professionals to deliver consistent, goal-oriented treatment.
