About Michele
Michele San Martin is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, family concerns, and trauma and abuse. Michele also helps people coping with parenting strain, grief, compassion fatigue, sleep problems, intimacy-related issues, and ADHD.
Michele centers sessions on what each person brings. She treats clients as the expert on their own story and builds on existing strengths. Conversations are practical and focused on specific patterns that keep causing trouble.
In therapy she uses a mix of methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting to clarify what matters most. Jungian and mindfulness approaches bring attention to inner images, values, and present-moment awareness.
Michele also draws on solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and test small changes. This can be useful for people wanting concrete steps to try between sessions. She pays attention to how family of origin patterns - roles, expectations, and closeness - show up now in adult relationships.
Her style is straightforward and practical. Sessions look at how current problems link back to earlier family patterns and what can be done differently today. People often work on communication, boundaries, managing anger, or pacing life changes.
She practices in Texas and conducts work in English. To begin, prospective clients choose an online therapy option, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How Michele Uses Therapeutic Approaches Online
Many of Michele's methods translate into focused, practical work. Client-Centered Therapy is about listening closely and reflecting back what matters to the client so priorities and motivations become clearer; it helps people who need to sort through feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and provides concrete tools for changing patterns that maintain anxiety or depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michele will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. That means trying approaches, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel. It also lets people bring real-life moments from daily life into conversation, for example practicing a new boundary after a difficult family interaction. Michele focuses on making sessions useful and manageable within everyday routines.
