About Miguel
Dr. Miguel Koschil welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, substance use, or life transitions. He is a licensed clinical social worker with 35 years of practice in Florida and speaks English, Spanish, and Ukrainian.
He offers straightforward, respectful care for adults coping with relationship strain, grief, anger, sleep problems, ADHD concerns, and parenting pressures. In sessions he uses a direct and warm style that aims to build trust quickly.
Background and approach
Conversations are interactive and grounded in everyday problems, not jargon. He helps people notice patterns that keep causing pain and practices simple skills to handle intense feelings and make clearer choices. His background includes program work for substance use and for people affected by domestic violence and post-traumatic events.
That experience shaped a calm, practical approach to crises and to longer-term recovery work. He blends talk therapy with attention to bodily experience when that helps a person feel more stable. Treatment draws on several approaches to fit what a person needs.
He uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation, psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring life patterns, mindfulness techniques for present-moment coping, and somatic strategies when stress shows up in the body. These tools are adapted so they feel useful in day-to-day life. He describes starting therapy as an investment in better days ahead.
New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that match their lives and goals.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Dr. Koschil commonly blends Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practice to help people manage overwhelming emotions and focus attention in daily life. DBT skills offer concrete tools for regulating emotions and improving distress tolerance, while mindfulness exercises train noticing thoughts and sensations without overreacting.He also brings psychodynamic ideas into online sessions to help people identify recurring patterns that affect relationships and choices. That work involves gentle reflection on past influences and current reactions so clients can make different decisions going forward. He talks with each person about which approaches feel most useful and adjusts the plan together based on goals and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allows for flexible scheduling and ongoing support between sessions. Video is useful for focused therapy work and hands-on teaching of skills, phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can provide a shorter check-in, and messaging supports brief coaching or reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the work collaborative and practical.
