About Michael
Michael Ebbinghaus is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with six years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are stuck in repeating patterns in relationships, struggling with trauma, low self-esteem, depression, or life changes. He also supports people navigating codependency, issues around kink and BDSM culture, separation and divorce, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose and self-love.
Michael takes a relational approach in session. He balances direct guidance with open conversation so clients help shape what happens each week. Sessions focus on understanding how old patterns keep showing up and on practical steps to shift those patterns over time.
He incorporates dreamwork and somatic exploration to help people access feelings that are hard to name. These methods are used to notice body signals and the images that recur in sleep, then connect them back to day-to-day behavior and relationship choices.
The biography notes use of ketamine-assisted therapy as part of his work; clients can ask about how that fits into treatment during intake. Michael aims to help people make clear choices about relationships and personal boundaries while addressing trauma-related responses.
People who tend to put others first, have trouble saying no, or are repeatedly drawn into crises may find the focus of his work relevant. To begin, readers should confirm current session options and ask about how these approaches might be used in their situation.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Michael's work combines body-focused exploration and imagery-based work. Somatic exploration involves noticing bodily sensations and movement to better understand emotional responses, which can help when reactions show up in relationships. Dreamwork looks at recurring images and themes from sleep as a way to surface hidden feelings and patterns related to self-worth and attachment.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each client about what feels most helpful and adjust techniques as goals evolve. Clients and therapist decide together whether to emphasize body awareness, dream material, or other interventions based on need and preference.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list set formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove the need to travel. Ask about how specific methods like somatic exercises or dream discussion are handled remotely so you know what to expect.
