About Miguel

Miguel Lopez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, trauma, and questions about sexual identity and gender. He works with people coping with addiction, intimacy concerns, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar mood issues, and major life changes. Miguel also supports clients concerned about attachment, body image, codependency, communication problems, and gender dysphoria.

He practices with a flexible, client-centered approach. That means he draws from different methods to fit each person’s needs instead of using one fixed style. Sessions often include questions and reflections meant to help people understand themselves and try new behaviors.

Miguel earned a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Texas at San Antonio. He has four years of counseling experience and holds the LPC credential in Texas. He provides telehealth therapy across Texas.

In session he uses empathy and sometimes humor to build rapport. He aims to give practical tools people can use between meetings. Work may include mindful exercises, thought-focused strategies, and talking through relationship patterns.

Outside of counseling he enjoys gardening, knitting, bowling, and time with his partner and pets. He encourages clients to bring their real-life concerns into sessions so they can work on immediate, usable changes together.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead so people can explore their own goals and values. It helps when someone needs a respectful space to make sense of feelings and choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on emotional bonding and communication patterns that affect relationships. It can be useful for people looking to improve closeness and manage conflict in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. It is normal to adjust strategies as work progresses to find what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - you may avoid travel time, fit a session into a work break, or choose formats that require less bandwidth or camera time. Licensed professionals can guide how often to meet and suggest home practice between sessions to build new habits.
