About Miguel

Miguel De la fuente is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. He brings eight years of counseling experience and a background shaped by military service and long-term work in health and fitness. He speaks English and Spanish and accepts international clients.

Miguel uses a practical, client-centered style that focuses on what matters most to each person. He listens first, then helps build plans that fit daily life. Sessions often address stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, trauma and relationship strain.

His approach draws on several methods, including client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques. Miguel also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and psychodynamic ideas when they match a person’s needs. He frames therapy as teamwork and adapts tools to the situation at hand.

Miguel’s background includes military service and many years in health and fitness, which inform how he talks about resilience and routine. He also integrates faith and spiritual concerns when clients want that included. His work often focuses on attachment, communication, abandonment, commitment, control, and coping after disasters or military stress.

Clients can expect direct conversation, practical coping skills, and steady follow-through. He invites people to set clear goals and to test small changes between sessions. To begin, users select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Miguel uses client-centered therapy to build sessions around each person’s priorities. That means he starts by listening closely and then follows the client’s lead on goals and pace. This approach is helpful when someone needs space to name what matters and to set practical next steps.

He also draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. CBT tools can be useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress because they offer clear steps to try between meetings. Dialectical behavior therapy offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication, often through straightforward exercises and emotion-regulation strategies.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist helps clients pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts those methods over time. The process is collaborative rather than fixed.

Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for follow-up check-ins when needed. Some formats also let people choose shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations when that better fits their day.
