About Micki
Micki Matthews is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with ten years of practice. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and build clearer ways to move forward. Her work centers on simple, practical steps that people can use day to day.
She uses a person-centered stance that prioritizes the client's own goals and values. Sessions often focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and learning small, doable habits to reduce anxiousness.
Background and approach
Mindfulness exercises, short reframing techniques, and coaching-style questions are common tools in her sessions. Micki has a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and a decade of clinical experience. That background informs her attention to relationships, family patterns, and communication problems.
She also works with issues such as grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and navigating life changes. Therapy with her tends to be collaborative and pragmatic. She helps people identify what matters most and takes steps toward it.
Techniques come from approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, solution-focused methods, and trauma-focused practices when appropriate. People who reach out can expect straightforward guidance and grounding practices to try between sessions. Micki supports those dealing with parenting strains, compassion fatigue, LGBT concerns, and young adult issues while helping clarify life purpose and build self-love.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It supports work on anxiety, life changes, and finding clearer purpose. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, respect, and the client's own goals so the therapist follows the person's lead and helps them make sense of their experience. Mindfulness Therapy teaches brief, practical exercises to calm the body and reduce intrusive or ruminating thoughts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about current needs, goals, and what feels most useful. Together they will try techniques and adjust the plan so it fits the person’s life and pace.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions make it possible to have face-to-face conversation when schedules are tight. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or a quick check-in during a break. Live chat and messaging are helpful for short updates, skill practice, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
