About Miguel

Miguel Lopez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. He offers telehealth sessions for people across the state. Miguel focuses on common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, and issues related to sexual identity and gender.

He also addresses addiction, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem, bipolar mood issues, and life transitions. Miguel uses a flexible counseling style that draws from several methods rather than a single approach.

Background and approach

He personalizes sessions to match each person’s needs instead of using one set plan for everyone. In a typical session he asks questions, offers reflections, and teaches practical coping skills to handle day-to-day problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports exploring feelings and improving emotional connection. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening deeply and helping people find their own solutions. Miguel aims to build a warm working relationship using empathy and sometimes light humor.

He encourages reflection and skill building so people can try new ways of responding to stress and relationship challenges. Sessions often include exercises to practice between meetings. He trained at the University of Texas at San Antonio and holds a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.

Miguel brings four years of professional experience to his work and pairs clinical skills with everyday, practical guidance.

How Miguel's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful space where the person leads the pace and topics. It helps when someone needs support exploring identity, values, or personal goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot patterns of thinking that increase stress and then practice small changes in thoughts and actions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, looks at emotional patterns and how they affect relationships and closeness. It supports people who want to understand and change emotional reactions that harm connection or intimacy.

Miguel approaches choosing methods as a collaborative process. He will work with each person to figure out which approach or combination fits their goals, needs, and comfort level. Sessions often include practical exercises and homework to try between meetings so progress continues outside the call.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible options for different situations. These formats make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules and to continue work during life transitions. Miguel uses the chosen format to deliver the same tools and conversation-driven work he practices in other settings, while adjusting pace and exercises for the online setting.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
