Mickey Reves, LPC

Mickey Reves is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career struggles, depression, and major life changes. He writes short, straightforward plans with clients and focuses on practical steps they can try between sessions. He encourages honest talk and makes space for hard feelings without judgment.

With 14 years of experience in Texas, he draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take concrete steps toward what matters to them. Motivational Interviewing and client-centered work guide his way of listening and partnering with each person.

Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Mickey helps people break big problems into smaller, manageable steps. He often assigns small practice tasks to build confidence and track progress over time.

He has worked with concerns that include abandonment, attachment and family of origin issues, blended family adjustments, substance use challenges, dissociation, and coping after disasters. He also supports people facing aging and geriatric concerns, divorce and separation, commitment and communication problems, and co-occurring mood or regulatory difficulties.

People who prefer clear explanations and a collaborative pace tend to find his style accessible. He offers phone, video, live chat, and text-based messaging formats to fit different schedules and needs.

How CBT and ACT work online with flexible session options

He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT sessions focus on simple experiments and homework that can be reviewed in later meetings, which makes it well suited to video or phone sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people identify values and take committed actions even when feelings are difficult; ACT work often includes short in-session exercises and practices people can do between meetings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist listens to current needs and past attempts, then suggests methods to try together. Over time the plan can change based on what feels helpful and what fits the person's goals and daily life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging are convenient for brief check-ins, homework review, or when someone prefers typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between sessions.
