About Michael
Michael Taylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of experience. He works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and trauma. He aims to meet each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
Michael adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit what each person needs. He helps people name problems, set goals, and try practical steps that feel doable. Sessions are grounded in listening first and then working together on changes that matter to the individual.
He uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the person’s perspective central in sessions. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on values and taking action even when difficult feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of his toolkit for spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors.
Michael’s background includes work with adolescents and adults in settings that addressed trauma, addictions, and grief. That experience informs how he responds to crisis, change, and setbacks. He emphasizes a steady, unhurried pace so people can work at the speed that suits them.
Taking a first step can feel hard. Michael’s role is to support people as they build clearer communication, find more purpose, and strengthen self-acceptance. He invites clients to try practical exercises between sessions and to shape the plan as progress unfolds.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding, and following the person’s lead. In practice this means the therapist reflects what the person says, checks in about goals, and helps people find the next right step for them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, centers on values and committed action while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings rather than trying to eliminate them. It can help with anxiety, depression, and making meaningful changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and uses small experiments to test new ways of acting and thinking. Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to find the best fit based on needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining elements of Client-Centered Therapy with ACT or CBT, and adjusting over time as progress is assessed. Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online or in-person options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find that remote sessions help them maintain continuity of care and keep momentum between visits.Areas of expertise
