About Mishel
Mishel Powell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults who face stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and codependency. She also supports people coping with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, self-esteem struggles, and changes in life circumstances.
Mishel keeps conversations direct and straightforward. She adapts the way she talks and plans treatment to each person's needs. She says she will be honest about what she can and cannot promise in therapy.
Her practice draws on several approaches. She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person in the room. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her work for changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness tools appear in sessions that focus on emotion regulation and stress management.
She also brings psychodynamic ideas into longer threads of conversation to notice patterns that repeat across relationships. Practical problem-solving and solution-focused steps are used when someone needs concrete changes fast. Across methods, the focus is on clear talk about goals and simple, usable skills.
People who often put others first, struggle to say no, or who feel stuck around another person's moods or drinking may find this approach fits. To begin, the usual next step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what matters to the person in front of the therapist. In online sessions this means the conversation follows the client's priorities and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. Online CBT often includes specific exercises and homework to practice between sessions that target anxiety, depression, and codependency-related thinking patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal boundaries. DBT skills can be taught and practiced in remote sessions and used in day-to-day situations.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will help identify which methods fit your goals and preferences, and adjust over time as needs change. Expect questions about what you want to work on and some trial of techniques to see what helps.
Session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it simple to try skill practice between meetings and bring real-life situations into discussion without promising any particular format.
