About Michael

Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) in Tennessee with 20 years of clinical experience, Michael Hernandez focuses on relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. He works with people on communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

Michael frames sessions around straightforward conversation and practical skills. He helps clients name what feels difficult, sort priorities, and try small changes between meetings. The first meetings commonly focus on what matters most now and on setting clear, manageable goals.

Across his career Michael has worked with a range of situations related to relationship strain and personal transition. He draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address grief, low confidence, and communication breakdowns. He aims to help people notice patterns and test different ways of responding.

In conversations about family concerns he helps individuals clarify boundaries and repair communication. When grief is present he supports people through loss-related tasks and rebuilding daily routines. For self-esteem and life-purpose questions he blends reflective discussion with practical steps to build momentum.

Michael encourages straightforward feedback about what is or is not working in sessions. He asks clients to evaluate progress and revises plans as needed. Starting therapy involves small commitments and gradual changes rather than immediate overhaul.

To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and session cost varies with location.

Evidence-based methods and working online

Michael uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address the issues people bring. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns in relationships and practicing new communication skills in session and between meetings. This helps with communication problems, conflict, and repairing trust.

Another frequently used approach targets coping with loss and grief by breaking tasks into manageable steps, processing emotions at a steady pace, and rebuilding daily routines. This is useful for those navigating bereavement or major life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michael will collaborate with each client to determine which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. He checks in about what is or is not helping and adapts the plan over time.

The biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm the available session formats before booking to know whether video or phone options are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule therapy around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera when that helps them engage.
