About Miguel

Miguel De la fuente is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people dealing with stress and anxiety. He brings a direct, down-to-earth style to sessions and speaks English and Spanish. People come to him when everyday worries, relationship tensions, or past traumas feel overwhelming.

He uses practical talk and concrete skills so clients can manage symptoms between sessions. Miguel draws on methods like cognitive behavioral work and client-centered listening to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try new responses. He also draws on dialectical behavior strategies when intense emotions or relationship conflicts make daily life harder.

Miguel has eight years of professional counseling experience and a background that includes long service in the military and deep involvement in fitness and leadership. That mix influences how he frames goals and progress - with clear steps and attention to resilience. He also connects concerns about trauma, bipolar symptoms, and depression to everyday routines and behavior patterns.

Sessions often look like focused conversation, skill practice, and planning practical steps to cope with stressors. He tailors the pace to each person and pays attention to values and meaning when people want that explored. He also offers support in Spanish when preferred.

Before starting, people typically complete a short questionnaire so sessions begin with a clear place to focus. Miguel aims to help people regain steadiness and make choices that fit their life and goals.

How Miguel’s approaches work in online therapy

Miguel commonly draws on client-centered therapy to start sessions by hearing what matters most to the person. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people set goals that feel right to them. It is useful when someone needs a safe space to sort through feelings and make decisions.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT involves spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are used when emotion regulation and relationship skills are a focus; these teach concrete tools for coping with intense feelings and improving communication.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Miguel collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. He checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on progress and feedback.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping continuity when travel or relocation occurs. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm which options are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to attend during a work break, avoid travel time, or have shorter check-ins when needed.
