About Miguel

Miguel Lopez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with four years of clinical experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, addictions, trauma and abuse, and gender and sexual identity concerns. Miguel lists codependency and intimacy-related issues among his focus areas, and he offers telehealth across Texas.

He trained at the University of Texas at San Antonio, earning a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. That program is where he gained hands-on experience with a wide range of concerns, including mood disorders and relationship difficulties. He brings that practical background into sessions.

Miguel uses an eclectic counseling style. He blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Existential Therapy, and other approaches to fit what each person needs. In a session he asks questions, reflects observations, and introduces skills clients can practice between meetings.

Sessions often focus on building specific skills for day-to-day life. Miguel aims to help people notice patterns, try different responses, and reduce behaviors that cause distress. He also challenges unhelpful habits and supports steps toward clearer boundaries and better communication.

Outside the workroom he enjoys gardening, knitting, bowling, and time with his partner and pets. That personal side informs his practical, down-to-earth approach to conversations about relationships and identity.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can better understand their feelings. It helps when someone wants a conversational, nonjudgmental space to sort out identity, relationships, or codependency patterns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. It teaches practical skills and exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and try new ways of responding to relationship triggers.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and patterns in close relationships. It is useful for people wanting to change how they connect, respond to conflict, or handle intimacy-related issues.

Miguel sees choosing an approach as a collaborative process. He works with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made or new concerns appear.

Check the current session options before booking to confirm how Miguel runs online meetings. The practical advantage of online sessions is fitting therapy into busy lives - shorter check-ins on a break, fewer trips to an office, or avoiding commute time. Different approaches can be used effectively in remote sessions, and the therapist will recommend ways to practice skills between meetings.
