About Michele
Michele Heyman helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues like eating, sleep, and work-related strain. Michele brings 19 years of counseling experience to sessions and practices from Texas as an LPCC and LPC.
Her style is practical and straightforward. She listens first, and then she helps clients set clear, manageable goals.
How Michele works
Sessions mix problem-solving, skills practice, and reflection so people can try new ways of coping between meetings. Michele uses a mix of approaches to fit the person and the problem. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and action, and Client-Centered methods to provide warm, respectful support.
Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing also appear in her work when they suit the goals. Her background includes nearly two decades working with a broad range of people, including first responders, nurses, and law enforcement. That experience shaped a steady, no-nonsense approach to stress, burnout, and decision points in life.
People who prefer a collaborative therapist will find she focuses on practical steps and honest conversation. Michele tailors treatment plans to each person’s needs and checks in on progress as goals change.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name what matters most and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are strong. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions and focuses on action rather than perfect feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It works well for stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and sleep or eating issues. Client-Centered Therapy centers on respectful listening, empathy, and collaboration so clients feel heard while they set their own pace and goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michele will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques based on progress and feedback so sessions stay focused and useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit counseling into a busy life. Video sessions let people use visual cues and practice skills in the moment. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good short check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing support and quick reflections between meetings. These options offer flexibility while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
