More about Michelle
- 22 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
As a licensed therapist in Texas, I bring over two decades of compassionate counseling experience to supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My practice centers on helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, addiction, grief, and self-esteem concerns with a deeply empathetic approach.
I specialize in addressing communication difficulties, feelings of isolation, and helping individuals explore life purpose and personal growth. My therapeutic style is particularly attuned to supporting older adults and those seeking faith-integrated counseling approaches.
Drawing from extensive clinical experience, I create a warm, understanding environment where clients can explore their emotional landscapes, develop meaningful insights, and cultivate sustainable strategies for healing and personal transformation. My goal is to walk alongside you with genuine care, respect, and professional guidance as you move toward greater emotional wellness.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
