Engelbert Mittermayr, LCPC, LPC

Engelbert Mittermayr uses a practical, person-focused style to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and LGBT-related concerns. He combines talk-based work with structured techniques to create clear steps people can try between sessions. Engelbert holds LCPC and LPC credentials and brings 12 years of professional experience in mental health care in Nevada and Oregon.

Engelbert sees each person as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions often start by mapping what matters most and identifying small, doable changes. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered listening to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.

He also draws on existential and narrative ideas to help people make sense of loss, life purpose, and identity questions. Mindfulness practices are introduced when helpful to manage strong emotions and ground attention in the present. This mix is adapted to the concerns a person brings.

Over a dozen years, Engelbert has worked with people facing trauma, bipolar challenges, chronic health issues, relationship and attachment questions, and struggles around gender and sexual identity. He offers straightforward guidance and collaborative problem solving rather than long lectures.

Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. People leave with concrete strategies to test between meetings and with a plan to measure progress. Engelbert encourages small steps and honest feedback so therapy can be adjusted as goals change.

Practical approaches for online therapy

Engelbert draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT offers clear steps to tackle anxiety, stress, and mood swings by changing thinking patterns and daily routines.

He also uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening and following the person's agenda. This approach helps people feel heard while they clarify goals and decide what matters most in their daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Engelbert will work with each person to pick or blend methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. Together they set small goals and review what is helping as therapy progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a shorter break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, daily coaching, or step-by-step work between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or medical needs while keeping the focus on making practical changes.
