About Michele
Michele San Martin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, trauma and parenting concerns. Michele also helps people coping with sleep problems, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and life changes.
She approaches therapy from a person-centered angle, treating each session as a chance to listen and build on what already works for the client. Michele uses concrete tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. She also draws on solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and generate practical steps forward.
Jungian ideas inform how she looks at personal meaning, symbols, and recurring themes that show up across a person's life. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with stress, sleep, and grounding after difficult experiences. Sessions are conversational and focused on discovering what the client wants to change and why it matters to them.
Michele has supported adults dealing with family conflict, blended-family issues, adoption and foster care questions, caregiving stress, and aging concerns. She also works with people facing commitment and communication problems, body image and self-esteem concerns, and chronic illness or pain that affect day-to-day living.
People who come to her can expect a practical, steady approach that emphasizes clear goals, small experiments between sessions, and regular review of progress.
How sessions work
How Michele’s approaches translate to online work
Michele uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following what the person brings to each session. This approach helps adults sort through family stress, parenting strain, grief, and relationship concerns by centering the client's own priorities and strengths.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical method that names unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with concrete experiments and behavior changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, sleep problems, depression, and coping with life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michele aims to collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She will review progress and adjust techniques so sessions stay relevant to immediate concerns and longer-term aims.
