Michael Spain

Michael Spain is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nearly 30 years of clinical experience providing online therapy to adolescents, adults, parents, and families. Based in Texas, he supports clients who feel weighed down by anxiety, depression, stress, grief and loss, relationship strain, family conflict, and major life transitions, as well as those working toward recovery from addictive or compulsive behaviors.

He brings particular focus to helping teenagers work through identity questions, motivation concerns, and behavioral challenges, while also partnering with parents who want practical tools and clearer communication at home. He also works with men who are seeking emotional growth, leadership development, and a stronger sense of direction and purpose.

Michael integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, strengths-based counseling, and ideas drawn from positive psychology. He emphasizes turning insight into action by identifying unhelpful patterns, building coping skills, strengthening communication, and creating practical steps that support observable progress over time.

As a Christian therapist, Michael offers faith-based counseling for clients who want it, including the integration of biblical principles and prayer. At the same time, he works respectfully and effectively with people of all faith backgrounds or with no religious affiliation, keeping therapy collaborative and centered on each client’s goals. For those feeling stuck, overwhelmed, discouraged, or unsure of what comes next, he helps create clarity, resilience, and forward momentum.
