About Mickey
Mickey Reves is a licensed professional counselor in Texas who helps people handle stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career frustration, depression, and major life changes. He invites straightforward conversations and focuses on practical steps that fit into daily life. His tone is calm and direct, which can help reduce worry about starting therapy.
He uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Background and approach
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people in making room for difficult feelings while taking action toward personal values. Mickey keeps sessions client-centered. That means he listens first, follows what matters most to the person, and adapts tools to each situation.
Motivational Interviewing is used when someone needs help finding momentum and commitment to change. Over 14 years of practice in Texas, he has worked with concerns that range from attachment and abandonment issues to addiction and communication problems. He also addresses family of origin concerns, grief from separation or divorce, dissociation, and co-morbid mental health challenges.
The background gives him a broad view of how life stressors connect. Clients can expect a pragmatic focus in sessions. Conversations aim to clarify goals, try small experiments, and build skills that carry into everyday life.
The process is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable.
How these approaches guide online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then take steps that align with personal values. It can be useful for persistent anxiety, low motivation, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns, which is helpful for depression and stress. Motivational Interviewing is a brief, conversational method that focuses on building a person's own reasons for change and increasing commitment to goals.Mickey approaches selection of methods as a collaboration. He will talk with the person about goals, try a method, and adjust if something does not fit. Deciding what to use is part of the early sessions rather than a one-time choice.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for longer sessions and when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging are helpful for quick reflections, ongoing coaching, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options aim to make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily routines.
