About Michele
Michele Heyman is a licensed counselor with nearly two decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, and life changes. She works with clients who want clearer communication, better self-esteem, or practical ways to cope with grief, trauma, and relationship strain.
Michele is LPCC and LPC credentialed and practices from Texas and New Mexico credentials while providing care in English. Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions focus on practical skills and small steps that fit everyday life.
Background and approach
Michele adapts conversations and plans to each person’s situation rather than following one fixed method. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to notice unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors. Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are woven in to help people stay present and act on valued goals.
Motivational interviewing guides work when clients want to find personal reasons to change. Michele has spent many years supporting people in high-stress jobs as well as others facing major transitions. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in the therapy room.
Michele aims to make sessions honest, clear, and useful so people can practice new skills between meetings. People often come for help with parenting stress, sleep and eating struggles, relationship and intimacy questions, career pressure, or recovery from trauma. Michele tailors dialogue and plans to what each person needs and helps set realistic next steps toward a more manageable daily life.

How Michele Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, parenting frustrations, and life transitions by focusing on what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is especially helpful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating habits.Michele works collaboratively to find which methods fit best. She listens to each person's goals and preferences and blends techniques to match their needs. Together they try an approach, check what helps, and adjust the plan over time so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or use text when speaking in real time is difficult. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to continue work on practical skills from wherever is most convenient.
