About Miguel
Miguel Lopez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with four years of clinical experience. He provides telehealth therapy across Texas and works with adults facing common household and personal strains. He lists stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, depression, addictions, family concerns, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues among his focus areas.
Miguel trained at the University of Texas at San Antonio, where he earned a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. He uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. That means he draws from several therapies and fits the work to what someone brings to sessions.
In practice he offers concrete skills and questions that help people reflect and act differently. He aims to help clients build practical coping tools and to notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions can include discussion, reflections, and exercises that target thoughts, feelings, and everyday behavior.
Miguel also lists work with sexual identity and gender-related concerns, attachment issues, body image, codependency, blended family matters, and forgiveness. He notes interests in BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and gender dysphoria among additional focus areas.
Outside of work he gardens, knits, bowls, and spends time with his partner and pets. He blends a direct, conversational style with occasional humor to keep sessions grounded and practical.
How sessions work
How Miguel’s approaches translate to online work
Miguel often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, reflecting, and following a client's lead so they can better understand their own choices. This approach helps with self-esteem, relationship questions, and identity concerns.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior experiments. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing everyday stressors.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is another influence; it pays attention to emotional responses and patterns in close relationships to improve connection. That work can help with intimacy-related issues and recurring conflict patterns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the early sessions. Miguel will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts the plan as work progresses.
If you want to use telehealth, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. The main practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into a busy life - shorter check-ins, avoiding travel time, and being able to meet from different locations within the therapist's practice area. Miguel aims to balance direct discussion, reflective questions, and skill practice so the work can fit into everyday routines.
