About Miguel
Miguel De la fuente offers straightforward, practical support for people struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood swings, relationship strain, or the effects of trauma. He speaks English and Spanish and draws on eight years of professional counseling experience while based in Texas. Miguel aims to make sessions direct and understandable for someone juggling family, work, and recovery.
Miguel uses a mix of methods to meet people where they are.
Background and approach
He leans on client-centered work to follow what matters most to each person. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try new coping skills. He also integrates elements from dialectical behavior therapy and psychodynamic ideas when they add value.
His background includes military service and long experience in fitness and leadership. That experience shapes an approach that cares about resilience, routine, and real-world problem solving. He emphasizes practical steps alongside processing painful experiences.
Miguel often addresses relationship problems like communication and commitment, and individual concerns such as abandonment and attachment wounds. He also supports people coping with disaster-related stress and issues related to military service and veteran affairs. Sessions can focus on short-term problem solving or longer work on trauma and mood management.
The intent is clear goals, skill practice between sessions, and steady progress that fits each person's life and values.
Approaches and online care that focus on skills and meaning
Miguel commonly uses client-centered work which means sessions begin with listening closely to what matters most to the person. That approach helps people set goals that feel relevant and keeps the work focused on their priorities.He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and mood shifts by teaching concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Miguel will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying short-term skill work first or blending approaches for longer trauma-related work.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when deeper interaction is helpful. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setting is available. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter coaching-style work, or days when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue steady progress over time.
