About Michele
Michele Markulec is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who works with adults facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and big life changes. She speaks plainly and keeps sessions practical to help people make small, steady shifts. Michele aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and can start moving forward.
She sees many people who feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in cycles of overthinking. Michele helps clients clarify what matters to them and build everyday skills to manage stress and mood. She brings tools that focus on understanding thoughts and emotions and creating clearer, healthier routines.
Michele uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy alongside other evidence-informed techniques. These approaches target unhelpful thinking patterns, strengthen coping skills, and set achievable goals for change. She also integrates strategies for improving communication and reducing recurring conflict in relationships.
She has completed Gottman Method Level 2 training and applies Gottman-informed strategies when working with couples who want better communication and connection. Michele also has a particular interest in grief, trauma, and post-traumatic stress and is continuing advanced training in Cognitive Processing Therapy.
With three years of clinical experience in Texas, Michele focuses on helping adults cope with caregiver stress, codependency, workplace strain, loneliness, and self-worth struggles. She works collaboratively with each person to find practical steps that fit their life and values.
How evidence-informed approaches translate to online therapy
Many of Michele's methods are based on evidence-informed therapeutic techniques that focus on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns to reduce anxiety and depression and to improve daily functioning. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, practical goals and steps you can try between sessions to move toward the changes you want.Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. Michele will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing a single path. Over time, she adjusts techniques based on what is helpful and what fits a person's life.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can still use the same evidence-informed techniques through remote sessions to help with stress, relationship concerns, grief, and codependency, while tailoring pacing and practical exercises to fit everyday routines.
