About
Michele San Martin, LPC, brings 20 years of professional practice to her work with individuals and families in Texas. Her approach blends practical tools and reflective exploration to address stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, grief, and a wide range of life challenges such as parenting, career changes, and sleep difficulties. She also works with issues related to attachment, adoption and foster care, caregiver strain, and first responder stress.
Michele describes the client as the expert of their own story and focuses on helping people identify and build on existing strengths. Her training includes client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, Jungian and mindfulness techniques, solution-focused work, and Internal Family Systems. This mix of approaches supports both skill-building and deeper insight work depending on what a person wishes to pursue.
Taking the first step toward change can take courage, and Michele positions herself as a steady collaborator in that process. She aims to create a clear, respectful space where goals are defined together and practical steps are taken toward a more satisfying, manageable life.
Remote care and therapeutic approaches
Michele offers remote sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options are intended to provide different ways to engage, whether someone prefers face-to-face conversation on video, verbal check-ins by phone, or written exchanges through chat and messaging.
Her work often integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. Client-centered work emphasizes a collaborative, nondirective stance that elevates the client's perspective and strengths. Cognitive behavioral techniques introduce concrete tools to notice patterns in thinking and behavior and to practice alternative responses.
Michele also draws on Internal Family Systems and mindfulness approaches when deeper parts work or present-moment awareness is helpful. Internal Family Systems frames internal experience as multiple parts that can be listened to and worked with, while mindfulness practices support attention and regulation. Together these methods allow Michele to tailor sessions to what a person wants to explore and to collaborate on practical steps between meetings.How long has Michele been practicing?
