Miguel De la fuente, LPC

Miguel De la fuente is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, relationship strain, and trauma. He speaks English and Spanish and draws on eight years of counseling experience. Miguel combines practical tools with straightforward conversation so clients can start making small changes quickly.

He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and dialectical behavior techniques to tailor work to each person. Sessions often focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts, building coping skills, and practicing new ways of communicating. Miguel also brings experience with trauma and the specific challenges veterans and service members may face.

Miguel trained in psychology and fitness fields and has long personal experience with military life and leadership. That background shapes his approach to goals, routine, and resilience. He invites clients to draw on their strengths while addressing painful patterns.

In sessions he aims to be direct, practical, and respectful of each person’s values and pace. People can expect a mix of thought-focused exercises, skills practice, and time to talk about what matters most. He supports work on attachment and commitment concerns, communication problems, and coping after disasters or other losses.

Therapy is offered through online formats and is adapted to fit day-to-day life. Miguel helps clients set clear goals, track progress, and adjust strategies so therapy feels useful and focused.

How Miguel’s Approaches Work Online

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life behavior. Online CBT sessions often include short skills practice, worksheets, and homework that clients can use between meetings to reduce worry and improve mood.

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, respect, and building goals chosen by the client. In remote sessions this looks like open conversation, collaborative planning, and checking in about what feels most useful for daily life.

Dialectical behavior therapy brings practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. Used online, these skills can be taught in short modules, practiced in phone or chat check-ins, and reviewed together to help manage strong feelings or relationship conflicts.

Miguel will work together with each person to figure out which approach or mix of approaches fits best. He discusses goals, preferences, and day-to-day limits to make a plan that feels doable and relevant. That collaborative process can shift as needs change over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video is useful for deeper conversation and skills practice, phone is handy when bandwidth is limited, chat or text works well for quick check-ins or ongoing support. These options aim to make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to fit sessions into a busy life.
