About Michele
Michele Markulec is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with three years of clinical experience based in Texas. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and big life changes. Michele also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, codependency, workplace problems, and issues common in young adulthood.
Clients often come feeling overwhelmed, stuck in repetitive thinking, or emotionally drained after a hard season. Michele uses clear, practical techniques to help people notice how thoughts and habits affect mood and behavior. She focuses on building coping skills that fit into everyday life.
Her sessions draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy alongside other evidence-informed strategies. Those approaches are used to clarify unhelpful thinking, test new behaviors, and set small, achievable goals. Michele emphasizes collaboration so clients and therapist plan steps together.
She also works with couples who want to improve communication, reduce recurring conflict, and rebuild connection. Michele uses Gottman-informed strategies to focus on constructive conversation rather than blame. This helps partners address patterns that leave them feeling distant.
Michele has a particular interest in grief, trauma, and post-traumatic stress and is continuing advanced work in Cognitive Processing Therapy. She aims to help people gain clarity, practice new skills, and take manageable steps forward when life feels heavy or uncertain.
Evidence-informed approaches for online sessions
Michele uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing alternative responses to reduce anxiety and low mood.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on small, practical changes and clear goals. This approach helps people create manageable steps when they feel stuck after a life transition or during relationship strain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michele will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice may shift as therapy progresses and new priorities come up.
