More about Michael
- 3 years' experience
- Male
- LMFT
I am a licensed therapist in Texas with several years of experience both as a counselor as well as a language teacher and business manager responsible for training and coaching for improved performance. Throughout my career, I've helped diverse clients grapple with severe depression & anxiety, relationship hurdles, parenting dilemmas, career obstacles, grief & loss, and the search for purpose or fulfillment in life. I'm also a certified yoga teacher and firmly believe in the value and benefit of mindfulness and meditation.
My therapeutic approach has been described as laid-back and "chill." I believe in treating everyone with utmost respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and reject stigmatizing labels. My approach is a blend of cognitive-behavioral therapy, internal family systems, solution-focused therapy, and the Gottman Method. I customize our discussions and treatment plans to suit your unique needs.
Starting on the path towards a more fulfilling and joyful life requires courage — the courage to make significant change. If you're ready to take that leap, I'm ready to provide unwavering support.
Looking forward to the opportunity to collaborate with you!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
