About Mishel
Mishel Powell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Indiana with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and codependency concerns, grief and loss, and self-esteem problems.
Powell focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. Sessions center on understanding what feels stuck and testing small changes that can make daily life more manageable. She uses a mix of approaches including client-centered conversation, cognitive behavioral tools, and mindfulness skills to help people notice patterns and try new responses.
Her work includes attention to addiction issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related challenges, eating and sleeping difficulties, and coping with life changes. Additional areas she addresses are communication problems, domestic violence, life purpose, veteran and armed forces issues, multicultural concerns, and women’s issues.
In the room she aims to be direct and honest about goals and what to expect. Clients can expect clear feedback, practical strategies, and time to reflect on choices. She says she will not promise outcomes she cannot deliver, and prefers open conversation about progress and setbacks.
For people who want help figuring out what comes next after a job change, breakup, health shift, or other life transition, Powell focuses on realistic next steps. The emphasis is on noticing what matters now, trying manageable changes, and evaluating what helps move forward.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on open, respectful conversation that follows what matters most to the person. Online sessions using this approach let clients lead topics while the therapist reflects and clarifies what seems most important for change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. In remote sessions CBT typically includes practical exercises and homework that a client can try between meetings to test new ways of responding to stress or anxiety.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for handling intense emotions and improving communication. In a virtual setting DBT skills work can be practiced in-session and then applied during daily life, with check-ins about what worked and what didn’t.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will help identify which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences and adjust the plan as progress is observed.
The original profile does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find that virtual appointments make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let them use techniques in their everyday environment without extra travel.
