About Mishel
Mishel Bhatti is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with more than 12 years of experience in mental health. She focuses on helping people reduce anxiety and stress while building motivation, self esteem, and confidence.

She brings experience from the criminal justice system and work with military and homeless veterans, and she has a particular interest in women’s issues and multicultural concerns.
Background and approach
That background informs how she understands symptoms and life circumstances people face. Her approach is collaborative and adaptable to each person’s needs. In sessions she uses client-centered methods alongside practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy.
She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change, and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events are affecting day-to-day life. These methods are used to create short-term goals and step-by-step plans. Mishel aims for straightforward conversation and clear goals.
She prioritizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping people practice new skills. Clients usually work together to set the pace and focus of therapy. People can access her services through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Sessions operate on a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Approaches that translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's unique needs, letting the person guide the pace and topics of sessions. It helps when someone needs a respectful, empathetic space to talk through worries or life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress because it provides clear strategies and homework to practice between sessions.
Mishel aims to find the best fit together with the client. She will discuss different methods and work collaboratively to select the approaches that match a person’s goals and preferences. This shared process helps tailor short-term goals and the right pace for change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation; phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier when movement is needed; live chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or those who prefer typing. These formats make scheduling easier for people with busy lives, caregiving duties, or limited travel options.
