About Mickey
Mickey Reves is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 14 years of experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career difficulties, depression, and coping with life changes. He focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions to notice what helps and what does not.
He uses straightforward conversation to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions look at specific situations and test small changes. Homework is common so people can practice new ways of responding outside of sessions.
Mickey draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to link thinking, feelings, and behavior. He also uses client-centered methods and motivational interviewing techniques to support motivation and decision making. These approaches guide what happens in sessions rather than promising a particular result.
His work tends to be structured and goal-focused. He helps people break large problems into smaller steps. That can mean building simple routines, rehearsing how to handle difficult conversations, or practicing short mental skills for anxiety or low mood.
Mickey works with adults and frames progress in observable tasks and skills. He asks about what the person wants to change, then helps design experiments to test new responses. He encourages honest feedback so the plan can be adjusted as needed.
How his CBT and ACT ideas translate to online work
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses in real situations. It breaks problems into concrete parts - thoughts, feelings, and actions - and uses short experiments and practice tasks to change patterns that keep problems going.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts or feelings without getting stuck in them, and to choose actions that match their values. Client-centered ideas keep the conversation on the client's goals, and motivational interviewing supports readiness for change as goals are clarified.
Choosing the right mix of these approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what works. This means sessions can focus on skills practice, problem-solving, or strengthening motivation depending on the person's needs.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to practice skills in the places where challenges actually happen, then review results in the next session.
