About Michael
Michael Muniz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 19 years of clinical experience. He helps people who are struggling with anxiety, trauma, stress, depression, relationship concerns, and issues with addiction. He also supports people dealing with sleep problems, grief, parenting strain, career stress, and changes related to aging.
Michael has worked in psychiatric hospitals, private practice, and corporate healthcare. That range of settings means he is familiar with both short-term and longer-term needs. He uses straightforward methods to help people notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors and try different responses.
His work commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and develop practical skills. He also uses client-centered approaches to keep discussions focused on what matters to the person, and elements of emotionally-focused work when relationship patterns are central.
Sessions emphasize concise, problem-focused conversations and concrete strategies. Michael often blends mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques to increase awareness and support change. He aims to help people manage symptoms and make day-to-day decisions more easily.
People who prefer clear steps and practical exercises may find his style useful. Before a first meeting he asks about current goals and immediate concerns so early sessions can focus on what the client wants to address. To begin, people follow the site's intake flow and schedule an initial appointment.
How his approaches translate to online work
Michael commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on concrete exercises and short, goal-oriented tasks that can be done between sessions and discussed online.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes listening and building on the client's own goals. This approach supports conversations that clarify what the client wants to change and practical next steps.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy appears in his work when relationship patterns are central. EFT techniques help name emotions and the interaction cycles that keep problems going, which can be reviewed and practiced in sessions.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what is most helpful for the person's needs and preferences.
Confirm current session formats before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit meetings into a workday, avoid travel time, and focus on short skill-building check-ins when needed. If you want practical, structured work that transfers into daily life, online sessions can support that process when paired with the agreed plan.
