Miguel Lopez, LPC

Miguel Lopez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, addictions, and midlife challenges. He works with concerns around sexual identity, gender dysphoria, intimacy, and trauma. Miguel aims to give practical tools that help with day-to-day coping and decision making.

Miguel offers telehealth services throughout Texas and draws on a mix of approaches to fit each person's needs. He uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the client and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. He also draws on Emotionally-Focused and Existential ideas when deeper relationship patterns or questions about meaning arise.

His style is down-to-earth and collaborative. Sessions include questions, reflections, and short practices designed to build insight and new skills. He often combines empathy and light humor to make space for honest conversations without feeling overwhelming.

Miguel trained at the University of Texas at San Antonio, where he earned a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. He has four years of clinical experience working with a wide range of concerns related to mood, identity, and relationship difficulties.

Outside of work he enjoys gardening, knitting, bowling, and spending time with his partner and his pets. Those interests inform a flexible, curious approach to counseling that adapts to each person's life and goals.

How Miguel’s approaches translate to online work

Miguel uses Client-Centered Therapy to center the person's priorities and pace. This approach emphasizes listening closely and following what the client brings to sessions, which can help when exploring identity, relationships, or life changes.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT to spot patterns in thinking and behavior. CBT offers concrete exercises and small experiments that fit well into weekly online sessions and homework between meetings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when relationship patterns and attachment issues are the focus, helping people name feelings and practice new ways of connecting.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Miguel treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help identify which methods suit a person's goals and preferences. He adjusts techniques over time based on what is helpful in sessions.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy day. Online work can reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep regular appointments. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking to know whether video, phone, or other formats are available.
