About Michael
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 3 years of experience, Michael Shupp helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem struggles, parenting questions, and career or life-change challenges. He works with adults on issues related to family, LGBT concerns, and coping with shifts like separation or new roles. Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented.
Michael favors clear, practical methods. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to build workable steps forward. Conversations focus on specific problems and small, testable changes rather than long theoretical discussion.
Clients can expect a collaborative approach that highlights current strengths and patterns. Michael talks through communication problems, commitment and intimacy issues, and family-of-origin concerns. He also addresses adoption and foster care topics, blended family dynamics, and fatherhood or parenting stress.
His background includes work in clinical settings and leadership roles in healthcare, which he says informs his understanding of workplace pressure and life transitions. That experience shapes how he frames coping strategies for busy schedules and career-related stress.
Michael uses a practical, solution-focused style in sessions. He helps people set clear goals, try small behavioral experiments, and review what works. If a different approach looks better, he adjusts the plan with the person in session.

How his approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety or low mood. In practice this means tracking moments that trigger distress, testing new responses, and reviewing results together to refine what helps. Solution-Focused Therapy prioritizes small, concrete changes and short-term goals. Sessions concentrate on what can be tried next and on amplifying strategies that already show promise.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Michael collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. He adjusts plans as progress is reviewed so the strategy stays practical and focused on measurable steps.
Session format details are not specified here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during work breaks or between commitments. They also let people use shorter check-ins when bandwidth or time is limited, and make it possible to practice skills between meetings in the settings where problems actually occur.
