About Miguel
Miguel Lopez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with four years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, depression, addiction concerns, and issues related to sexual and gender identity including LGBT and gender dysphoria.
Miguel offers telehealth throughout Texas and brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to sessions. He mixes conversation, questions, and reflections to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding. Humor and straightforward feedback are part of how he connects and keeps sessions focused.
He trained at the University of Texas at San Antonio and completed a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. That background included supervised work with a range of clients and common presenting problems such as trauma, loss, and mood concerns.
Miguel uses a flexible set of methods rather than a single fixed model. He draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Existential ideas, and the Gottman Method to suit each person's goals. He also uses mindfulness and practical skill-building to support day-to-day changes.
In a typical session he will offer questions and reflections to increase self-awareness. He also introduces exercises to reduce anxiety, improve communication, and shift unhelpful behaviors. Outside work he spends time gardening, knitting, bowling, and living with his partner and pets.
How Miguel blends therapy approaches for online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening deeply and reflecting what a person says so they can better understand their own feelings and choices. It helps people who need to feel heard and to build trust in their own decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It uses straightforward exercises and experiments to reduce anxiety and shift unhelpful thinking patterns, which can help with social anxiety, panic, and low mood.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotions, and to change patterns in close relationships. It can be useful when relationship communication, attachment issues, or intimacy concerns are central.
Miguel approaches finding the right method as a shared process. He will talk with each person about goals, try different techniques, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. Decisions about methods come from the client's needs and preferences rather than a fixed plan.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the biography lists telehealth within Texas but does not detail all options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Some formats also let people avoid being on camera or use lower bandwidth when that helps them engage. Licensed professionals including Miguel aim to make sessions practical and usable in everyday life.
