About Micah
Micah Nagel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 14 years of experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and struggles such as addiction, grief, and low self-esteem.
He trained with a master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and has worked in outpatient and in-home settings. Micah helps people talk through parenting stress, communication problems, and intimacy-related issues. He also supports those facing life transitions, career pressures, and compassion fatigue.
Micah uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of his approaches to understand patterns of emotion and connection. He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current responses. Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) appear in his practice as ways to focus on present concerns and practical coping skills.
Sessions typically involve straightforward conversation about what is happening now, noticing strong emotions, and trying small, concrete steps between meetings. He tends to work in a collaborative way, helping people name difficult feelings and experiment with new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Micah's background includes work with blended family issues, adoption and foster care topics, attachment concerns, and fatherhood issues. People who want help with commitment, communication, or managing anger and ADHD-related difficulties may find his combination of relational and skills-based approaches useful.
