About Michele
Michele San Martin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family issues, trauma and abuse, and related struggles. Michele often supports people dealing with grief, parenting strain, blended family issues, and shifts in identity or role.
Her approach begins by treating the client as the expert on their own life. She listens for strengths and practical resources people already have. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that can reduce overwhelm.
Michele uses a mix of methods to match the person in front of her. She draws on client-centered work to prioritize what matters to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps address unhelpful thoughts and routines that keep problems going.
She also brings mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to build everyday coping skills. Jungian ideas may be used to look at personal themes and meaning when that is useful. These approaches are selected to fit the concern at hand, like sleep trouble, anger, or intimacy-related issues.
With two decades of practice in Texas, Michele aims for practical, steady progress rather than quick fixes. She helps people break down complex family or relationship patterns into manageable steps. Her style is direct and pragmatic, appropriate for someone juggling work, caregiving, or blended household demands.
How Michele’s therapeutic approaches work for online care
Michele uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the client’s priorities and perspective. This approach is about listening and following what matters most to the person, which helps when sorting competing demands in a blended household. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior. It offers concrete tools for anxiety, sleep problems, anger, and routines that affect family life. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve presence in everyday interactions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michele will work with the client to identify goals and try methods that match those goals. Together they can adjust techniques over time if something is not fitting or producing useful change.
The biography does not specify which session formats are used online, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let someone participate without being on camera if that is preferable. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to an online setting so work continues between meetings.
