About Miguel
Miguel Lopez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who offers telehealth therapy across the state. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, addictions, trauma, sexual identity and gender-related concerns, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Background and approach
Miguel keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He mixes listening with direct questions and gentle challenges so clients gain clearer perspective.
He also uses empathy and occasional humor to make hard conversations easier to sit with. In session he draws from several approaches to match each person's needs.
He uses Client-Centered techniques to follow what the client brings, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and Emotionally-Focused ideas for deeper relationship and attachment concerns. The Gottman Method is also part of his informed toolkit for relationship work when appropriate.
Clients can expect to leave sessions with tangible skills to try between meetings. Miguel often suggests small experiments, coping strategies, and questions for self-reflection to build new habits over time.
He aims to help people become more intentional about choices and interactions. He trained at the University of Texas at San Antonio, earning a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
Miguel has four years of professional experience and offers therapy in English to people located in Texas via video, phone, chat, or text messaging.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. In online sessions this means the therapist reflects what the client says, helps them name feelings, and supports their own problem-solving. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises. Online CBT can include homework, thought logs, and step-by-step behavior plans to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Miguel will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level. He checks in regularly and adapts techniques if something isn’t helping, so the plan evolves with the client’s needs.
Online therapy with him is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a check-in fits a work break. Chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, shorter check-ins, or for people who prefer writing. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help therapy fit into a busy life.
