About Michael

Michael Muniz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 19 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, self-esteem problems, depression, addiction concerns, grief, sleep struggles, parenting stress, anger, career transitions, and other life changes. He also lists work with LGBT issues and compassion fatigue.

He has practiced in psychiatric hospitals, private practice, and corporate healthcare. That range of settings means he has seen brief crisis care and longer-term work. He listens first and then helps people sort practical steps forward.

Michael favors straightforward, goal-focused conversations. He often uses cognitive behavioral ideas to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. He also draws on client-centered ways of checking in about what matters to the person.

Mindfulness strategies and motivational interviewing are part of his toolbox when the situation calls for them. Emotionally-focused ideas may be used to look at how feelings and close relationships interact. He explains options plainly and helps people choose what fits their life.

Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative. Michael helps people build skills for managing anger, coping with trauma, reducing anxiety, and improving sleep and relationships. He asks about what has worked before and coaches small experiments to test change.

People interested in working with him start by choosing online therapy options, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling a first session. Costs vary by location and are handled through a cancelable subscription model.

How sessions work

Approaches used in online sessions

Michael commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in sessions. CBT helps people spot thinking patterns that feed anger and then try small behavior changes to see what helps. Client-centered work focuses on listening carefully to what matters to the person and using that to guide practical next steps.

He also uses elements of Emotionally-Focused work when relationship patterns and feelings are central. That approach looks at how emotions shape interactions and suggests ways to respond differently in heated moments. Together these methods can address anger linked to stress, grief, trauma, or sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what has worked in the past. They decide together which techniques to try and adjust them as needed over time.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Ask about the specific session options offered and how scheduling and fees are managed.
