About Michael

Michael Leffingwell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 13 years of professional experience. He focuses on helping people navigate stress and anxiety, recover from trauma and abuse, cope with grief and loss, and build motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

He approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to match individual needs and goals. Michael emphasizes a collaborative process that adapts to what matters most to each person rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life often requires courage, and he aims to provide steady support throughout that journey. Michael works with clients to clarify priorities, develop coping strategies, and strengthen the skills needed for lasting change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and interpersonal expectations. It helps people who struggle with abandonment, attachment issues, or recurring relationship difficulties by exploring relational histories and building healthier connection strategies.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's perspective, offering empathic listening and collaborative goal-setting. This approach supports self-esteem, motivation, and confidence by creating a nonjudgmental space where clients lead the pace and focus of treatment.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes by teaching concrete strategies for managing symptoms and improving daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Michael works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He and the client review options together and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow clients to schedule sessions around work, family, and other responsibilities, and to continue care even when in-person visits are not practical. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to deliver effective, personalized support that fits a client’s life.
