About Micki
Micki Matthews is a Texas-based licensed professional counselor (LPC) with a decade of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people find steadiness when life feels chaotic. Micki aims to help clients build coping tools and clearer ways of thinking so they can move forward.
Micki uses a person-centered stance that keeps the client's priorities first. She listens to what matters and helps people reduce painful or unhelpful thoughts. Mindfulness techniques are part of her work to calm anxiety and bring attention back to the present.
Background and approach
She also draws on approaches that help clients set practical goals and try new behaviors between sessions. That includes short, focused steps when people want concrete change quickly. Micki pays attention to how past family dynamics shape current patterns and communication styles.
Micki has a background in marriage and family therapy and has worked with adolescents and adults. Her experience includes supporting people through trauma, grief, transitions, and issues around self-worth and identity. Parenting is one of the common concerns she addresses with individual clients.
In sessions she blends listening with clear suggestions and exercises you can use at home. The pace and focus are shaped by each person's needs and what feels manageable. Her aim is practical progress so clients leave with tools they can use the next day.

Approaches that translate well to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values. It often focuses on accepting difficult thoughts while choosing actions that match your goals. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience and priorities, offering empathetic listening and gentle reflection to help people find their own solutions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to calm anxiety and reduce reactivity; it is useful for stress, grief, and managing strong emotions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your needs, goals, and what feels useful, then try methods that fit your situation. Adjustments are made as you go so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility that many people need. Video calls let you meet face-to-face when that matters. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or fit therapy into a busy day. These options help make consistent progress while fitting therapy into real life.
