About Miguel
Miguel De la fuente is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and depression. He speaks English and Spanish and supports international clients as well.
Miguel uses straightforward, practical work in sessions. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques among other approaches to notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. He also uses client-centered and dialectical behavior ideas to help people manage emotions and improve communication.
Before counseling he spent many years in the military and fitness fields. That background shapes how he talks about structure, routine, and rebuilding after difficult events. He integrates life experience with clinical practice when people bring trauma, deployment-related issues, or stress from major life changes.
Miguel often addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, commitment and control problems, and communication difficulties. He also works with people coping with disasters and those connected to the armed forces. Sessions are practical, with an emphasis on skills people can try between appointments.
He completed undergraduate work in kinesiology and a master’s degree in psychology and is pursuing further doctoral study. The LPC credential identifies his role as a licensed counselor in Texas. Outside work he remains active in fitness and family life, which he names as part of his outlook on mental health.
How Miguel integrates structured approaches in online sessions
Clients can expect a mix of practical methods delivered with an emphasis on skills and problem solving. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to help people spot patterns of thinking that increase distress and to practice alternative responses. CBT work often includes short exercises or behavioral experiments to try between sessions.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client sets the pace and the therapist follows the client’s priorities. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes concrete emotion regulation and interpersonal skills that help when strong feelings or communication problems interfere with daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Miguel collaborates with each person to choose which methods to try based on their goals, needs, and preferences. He adjusts the mix over time as someone learns what helps them most.
