About Michael
Michael Muniz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. He works with individuals facing addiction, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, parenting stress, and concerns related to self-esteem. He also supports people coping with natural or human-caused disaster and compassion fatigue.
He brings 19 years of experience in psychiatric hospitals, private practice, and corporate healthcare. That background means he is familiar with a range of challenges, from short-term crises to longer-term mood and behavioral concerns. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps rather than jargon.
Michael commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify troubling thoughts and test new behaviors. He also draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on each person’s priorities. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are tools he uses when they fit a client’s needs.
People can expect a straightforward style: listening first, then working together to set goals and try small, manageable changes. He frames problems plainly and helps people practice skills between sessions.
His work history includes inpatient care and outpatient settings, which informs how he approaches complex or overlapping problems. If you are weighing therapy after a disaster, a loss, or a big life transition, he aims to help you regain routines and coping tools.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's goals first and centers sessions on what matters most to them. The therapist listens closely, reflects what he hears, and helps clients decide what to try next; this approach helps people who need a steady, respectful space to sort things out.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors through small experiments, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping after stressful events.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the client's needs, goals, and comfort level. That means trying an approach and adjusting it if something else fits better.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, cut down travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue care after a major disruption or disaster when in-person visits are harder to arrange. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and client-centered techniques to the online setting so practical skill-building and goal work remain possible.
