About Mishel
Mishel Powell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support and aims to help people find clearer ways to cope when life feels overwhelming.
Mishel listens without judgment and shapes sessions to each person's needs. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and codependency concerns, grief, self-esteem struggles, and issues around intimacy, eating, addictions, and sleeping. Her approach blends straightforward conversation with tools you can use between sessions.
Her work draws on client-centered methods that put the person’s experience first, cognitive behavioral ideas that look at patterns of thought and behavior, and mindfulness practices that teach present-moment coping. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and psychodynamic thinking when those fit a person’s goals.
Sessions are intended to be collaborative. Mishel aims for clear communication about goals and next steps so clients know what to expect. She says she will be honest about what she can offer and will not promise outcomes she cannot guarantee.
People who reach out can expect a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate style. Mishel emphasizes real talk that helps people discover the changes they want to make and supports practical steps toward better sleep, improved relationships, and more steadiness in daily life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. In practice this means the therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what they say, and helps them find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and offers concrete tools to change unhelpful cycles like worry or sleepless nights. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communicating under stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Mishel will work with each person to figure out which tools and methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may shift as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to use mindfulness exercises, behavioral experiments, and thought-record worksheets between meetings to support better sleep and daily coping.
