About Michael
Michael Taylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. He also focuses on communication problems, life purpose, and self-love.
He uses clear, practical conversations to identify patterns that keep problems repeating. Sessions often look at thoughts, behaviors, and what gets in the way of change. That practical focus is a core part of his work, alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods.
In session he listens and then suggests steps to try between meetings. Those steps may include experiments with different responses, small behavior changes, or ways to notice difficult thoughts. Clients get concrete tools they can use day to day rather than long abstract plans.
He has worked with both teens and adults in clinic and counseling settings. That background informs how he writes goals with people and breaks them into achievable tasks. The emphasis is on clear progress and measurable changes over time.
Michael aims to match his style to what each person needs. He reviews goals regularly and adjusts the plan when something is not working. If someone wants structured skills practice or looser, talk-based support, he adapts the session focus accordingly.
How his approaches translate to online work
Michael uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, test new responses, and set small behavior goals that reduce distress. CBT sessions focus on specific skills and short experiments that can be practiced between meetings.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and take action toward meaningful goals while learning to live with difficult feelings. Client-Centered Therapy provides space for people to speak freely while the therapist reflects and supports the person’s own problem-solving.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will discuss goals and preferences with each person and suggest methods that fit those priorities. That makes the process collaborative and practical rather than fixed.
Confirm current session options before booking to know which online formats are available. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time so people can use a lunch break or evening slot more easily. The therapist will explain how sessions will be structured and what to expect at the first appointment.
