Miguel Lopez, LPC

Miguel Lopez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing via telehealth throughout Texas. He earned a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Texas at San Antonio, where he developed clinical skills working with a wide range of individuals seeking counseling services.

He has experience supporting people facing depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, grief and loss, as well as sexual identity and gender related concerns. Miguel’s approach is intentionally eclectic - he adapts techniques from multiple modalities to fit each person’s unique needs rather than relying on a single method. Among the approaches he employs are Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, mindfulness practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and existential perspectives.

Miguel focuses on giving clients practical skills and building blocks to manage day to day challenges. He uses questions and reflective prompts to promote self-awareness and insight, and he offers challenges to help replace undesired behaviors with healthier ones. Empathy and a sense of humor are central to his sessions as tools to strengthen the therapeutic connection.

Outside of his professional work he enjoys gardening, knitting, bowling, and spending time with his partner, two cats, and a dog.

Therapeutic Approaches for Effective Online Care

Miguel uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive environment where the client’s experiences and goals guide the work. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration to help people explore their values and choices and is useful for issues like self esteem, identity, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT provides practical tools for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and some forms of trauma by teaching skills for thought reframing and behavioral experiments.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) addresses emotional patterns in relationships and individual emotional responses. EFT helps people and couples understand and reorganize emotional responses, improving connection, communication, and intimacy.

Finding the right fit is part of the therapeutic process, and Miguel approaches this collaboratively. He will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor techniques from these approaches to match what will be most helpful.

Online therapy with Miguel is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access care from home or other convenient locations. These options offer flexibility in scheduling and ways to engage so clients can choose the format that best fits their life and therapeutic goals.
