More about Michael

  • 24 years' experience
  • Male
  • LPC

I am a family and marriage counselor licensed in Texas with over 17years of experience working as a psychotherapist and life coach. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My counseling style is empathetic and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I am able to provide help and support to both the Christian population as well as non-Christians equally without judgment. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, supportive and rational-emotive counseling depending on your unique and specific needs. I enjoy and have had success working with couples, both married and pre-marital, individuals, and families struggling with a wide range of issues.

Your first steps to getting the help you need and working to move forward with your life is a sign of courage that I respect and will work to build on.. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to getting to know you and helping you move forward!

Available now.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Michael is an incredible therapist and human being. He is kind, compassionate, and authentic. He gave concise and effective advice that got to the root of several issues that I was having in my life. I had been battling depression, anger, anxiety, and many other negative core beliefs over the past ten years. With Michael’s help, I was able set healthy boundaries, learned how to plan and implement effective goals, and learned how to improve my communication skills. He helped me rebuild confidence and self-worth. My life is now very stable and I feel prepared and capable of confronting any future challenges. The tools and advice that he shared with me are invaluable, and I will continue using and implementing them into my everyday life. Thank you, Michael, for your help and advice. I will be forever grateful. The experience of therapy and counseling will always be a happy memory for me.

A kind man that appears to be goal driven. By constantly asking me what I want the therapy to help me with specifically it requires me to shape my goals and aspirations. He then follows up with concise advice and is willing to listen to the wails of a frustrated and angry man. That my friends is a Texas sized portion of help.

In the short time I spent with Michael he was very personable, I felt he asked good questions that allowed him to know me and what I am going through. I especially like that he is willing to include biblical experience and knowledge be a part of his counseling.

I just want to say thank you to my counselor for being respectful and empathetic, professional but also compassionate and most of all, offering spiritual Christian guidance to me at a time as this. There aren’t many Christian counselors out there who openly identify as such and do not compromise in their advice giving. Simply put, if you’re looking for a counselor that can pray with you/ for you/ refer you to the Bible and encourage you in the things of The Lord, go with Michael Edwards !
