Michael Muniz, LPC

Michael Muniz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, addiction concerns, grief, and other life changes. He aims to listen first and guide each person through difficult moments with steady support and practical steps. He is based in Texas and works in a direct, down-to-earth manner that focuses on what matters to the client.

With 19 years of clinical experience, Michael has worked in psychiatric hospitals, independent practice, and corporate healthcare. That background means he has seen many kinds of struggles and learns what approaches tend to help in everyday life. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered methods while also using elements from Emotionally-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.

Sessions focus on clear goals and small changes that add up over time. Michael listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try new ways of coping. He also provides practical coaching on sleeping, work stress, parenting strain, and managing mood swings.

People who prefer a straightforward, goal-oriented style often find his approach useful. He blends practical exercises, gentle reflection, and behavioral steps so clients can test what works between sessions. Michael encourages collaboration about what to try next.

If someone wants to begin, he asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to his availability. This helps him learn the main concerns and get sessions started efficiently.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist offers acceptance and reflection, helping people feel heard and decide what to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and uses specific exercises to try new responses and reduce symptoms. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name emotions and use that awareness to change how they relate to stressful situations.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to pick or combine methods that match the client's goals and preferences. Early sessions are used to identify priorities and try small strategies so the client can see what feels useful.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and let people choose a setup that suits their routine. It also allows for brief check-ins when schedules are tight and makes it simpler to try structured CBT exercises or mindfulness practices between sessions.
