Miguel Lopez , LPC

Miguel Lopez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing telehealth therapy throughout Texas. He holds a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Texas at San Antonio, where he developed clinical skills working with a wide range of individuals seeking counseling services.

Over four years of professional experience have led him to work with depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, sexual identity and gender-related concerns, trauma, and grief and loss. He takes an eclectic approach to counseling, tailoring interventions to each person rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. Miguel draws on methods such as Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, mindfulness practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Existential Therapy to meet specific client needs.

His goal is to equip people with practical skills and building blocks to manage everyday challenges, combining thoughtful questions and reflective feedback to promote self-awareness and purposeful change. Miguel balances empathy with gentle challenges to reduce unhelpful patterns and reinforce healthier behaviors. He brings warmth and humor into sessions and values continuous learning and mutual exchange.

When he is not working, Miguel enjoys gardening, knitting, bowling, and spending time with his partner, two cats, and a dog.

Integrating Approaches in Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a nonjudgmental space where the person leads the conversation and the therapist offers acceptance and understanding. This approach helps people explore identity, self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life decisions at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more constructive patterns. It is practical and solution-focused, often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses within close relationships. It can be especially useful for couples and individuals working on intimacy, attachment issues, and communication problems.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Miguel Lopez collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for those who prefer remote care. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can access licensed professionals without commuting, fit sessions into busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care across different locations within Texas. These options provide flexibility while allowing therapists to deliver meaningful, goal-oriented support.
