About Michele

Michele San Martin is a licensed professional counselor in Texas with two decades of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, and other life challenges.

Background and approach

She emphasizes that clients are experts in their own stories and brings a strengths-based, supportive stance to the work, guiding people toward more satisfying and manageable lives. Her approach blends evidence-based strategies and exploratory work, matching practical tools to each person's needs while honoring individual resilience.

Michele draws on methods that include client-centered and cognitive behavioral techniques, as well as mindfulness and Jungian-informed perspectives, to help clients build coping skills, address patterns, and find clearer direction. Clients can expect a collaborative process in which the therapist listens closely, highlights existing resources, and partners in creating realistic goals.

Michele has worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep difficulties, career stress, compassion fatigue, and ADHD, and she offers care grounded in respect and thoughtful clinical experience.

Approaches That Guide Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building on their strengths, offering an empathetic environment where clients lead the pace and direction of exploration. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress while teaching skills for managing day-to-day challenges. Mindfulness therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and stress management techniques that can complement cognitive and relational work.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Michele collaborates with clients to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and life context, adjusting techniques over time based on what proves most helpful. This collaborative stance helps tailor interventions to individual needs rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online sessions through video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging make it possible to access consistent support with flexibility. These formats allow scheduling around work and family commitments, enable follow-up between sessions, and can make it easier to maintain momentum in therapy for people managing busy or changing lives.
