About Miguel
Miguel Lopez is a Licensed Professional Counselor who provides telehealth therapy across Texas. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, trauma, and challenges tied to sexual and gender identity. He also supports people working through self-esteem, anger, bipolar mood concerns, and life transitions.
Miguel uses a straightforward, flexible approach. He listens closely and adapts methods to each person’s needs rather than applying one fixed protocol.
Background and approach
Sessions often include questions that prompt reflection, practical strategies to change unhelpful habits, and skills people can use day to day. He combines elements from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused ideas, existential thinking, and relationship-informed methods such as the Gottman Method. That mix lets him focus on feelings, thoughts, relational patterns, and concrete behavior change as needed.
Miguel draws on four years of clinical experience and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Texas at San Antonio. He frames therapy as a collaboration and aims to give people tools they can practice between sessions. In sessions he often uses empathy and light humor to build rapport and make hard conversations easier.
Outside work he enjoys gardening, knitting, bowling, and spending time with his partner and pets.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Miguel often draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and emotionally-focused ideas in online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters to you, which helps build trust and clarity. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts and actions interact and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-focused approaches pay attention to feelings and attachment patterns, which can help with relationship and intimacy concerns.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process. Miguel will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first, adjust techniques based on progress, and check in about goals and preferences. This means therapy is flexible and shaped around what the client needs most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and they make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people share thoughts between sessions or choose a less structured way to communicate. These options support consistent care while letting people pick what works best for their schedule and energy.
