About Miguel

Miguel Lopez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, addictions, and issues related to sexual and gender identity.

Background and approach

He also supports clients facing intimacy-related concerns, anger, self-esteem struggles, bipolar mood challenges, and life transitions, alongside a range of related topics including attachment, body image, codependency, and forgiveness. His approach draws from multiple therapeutic traditions rather than a single technique, tailoring interventions to each person's needs.

Miguel blends client-centered work with cognitive-behavioral tools and emotionally-focused strategies, offering practical skills alongside reflective inquiry. He aims to help clients build coping skills, increase insight, and shift patterns of behavior through questions, reflections, and collaboratively developed strategies.

Trained at the University of Texas at San Antonio with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, Miguel brings four years of professional experience to telehealth practice across Texas.

He uses empathy and a dose of humor to foster connection, and he emphasizes adaptable, individualized care so that clients can find approaches that fit their goals and daily life.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care



Miguel frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical strategies for changing patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or stress. CBT focuses on concrete skills and experiments that can reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. He also integrates Client-Centered Therapy principles, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients' perspectives guide the work and self-exploration is encouraged. This approach helps people feel heard while they consider changes they want to make.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all decision. Miguel works with clients to match methods to their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting techniques over time so therapy stays relevant and practical for the individual's needs.

Online therapy with him is offered through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling easier around work, family, or other obligations. These options support continuity of care and allow clients to use the format that fits their comfort and daily routine while still working on concrete skills and emotional insight with a licensed professional.
