01About Michael
Michael Ebbinghaus is a licensed professional counselor who helps people make clear changes in their lives. He focuses on supporting those struggling with relationships, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes.

Michael works collaboratively, shaping each session around what feels most useful in the moment. He leans on relational methods, combining guidance with attention to how conversations unfold between therapist and client.
Background and approach
This makes room for both goal-focused work and deeper personal exploration. His toolkit includes attention to the body through somatic exploration, guided work with dreams, and the use of ketamine-assisted therapy when appropriate and agreed upon. These approaches are used to help people access deeper feelings, process traumatic memories, and find new ways of responding to old patterns.
Michael also addresses concerns that can follow trauma such as guilt, shame, and codependency. He supports people navigating separation and divorce, those questioning life purpose, and men facing specific pressures or expectations. He includes topics related to BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture with respect and a nonjudgmental stance.
Michael has six years of counseling experience and holds an LPC, which is a licensed professional counselor credential. He practices in Texas and offers sessions in English. If you want help sorting next steps, he invites a straightforward conversation to see what might work.

04Online support
How his approaches can work in online therapy
Michael uses a few evidence-based techniques aimed at both immediate relief and deeper change. Somatic exploration focuses on noticing body sensations and movement patterns to help people understand how stress and trauma show up physically. This can help with anxiety, flashbacks, and chronic tension. Dreamwork invites discussion of dream images and themes to uncover feelings and patterns that are hard to reach in waking life. It can support insight into recurring relationship or self-esteem struggles.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Michael shapes methods around each person's goals, needs, and comfort. He will discuss options together and adjust the plan as work progresses so the approach stays practical and relevant.
