About

Michelle Farias is a Texas-based licensed professional counselor with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults, parents, and members of the LGBTQ+ community, offering support for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and parenting issues.

Michelle approaches each therapeutic relationship with respect for the client’s comfort and pace. She commonly recommends beginning with a video session as a helpful way to establish connection, but she accommodates other ways of communicating - including phone, live chat, and messaging - based on what feels best for the client.

Clients may schedule appointments through her scheduling page. Michelle monitors messages twice daily Monday through Friday and offers live phone calls and video chats at various times. She asks that sessions take place in a private room and will not conduct sessions if a client is driving or riding in a car. Messages are not routinely checked on weekends or on holidays.

Michelle is licensed to practice in Texas (TX LPC 16975), a credential that reflects her formal training and state authorization to provide therapy. If a client feels they need urgent assistance or are in crisis during the course of treatment, Michelle directs them to call 1-800-273-TALK or 911 for immediate help, since this forum does not provide emergency services.

Further resources are available on her website at https://www.michellefarias.com/. Michelle looks forward to supporting clients as they begin their work together.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people want to know whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or major life transitions, evidence indicates that online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person care.

One major benefit is flexibility. Individuals may choose the mode of communication that best fits their needs and schedule - video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging - making it easier to maintain continuity of care without rearranging daily life.

Another advantage is access to licensed professionals. Therapists who offer remote care hold the appropriate credentials to practice, and clients may request a different clinician at any time if they feel a change would be helpful. Online therapy can be a practical and effective option for many people seeking support.
