About Michael
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with six years of experience. Michael Ebbinghaus helps people who are struggling with relationships, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. He also focuses on issues such as BDSM and kink culture, codependency, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, men's issues, post-traumatic stress, and self-love.
Michael frames therapy as a collaborative conversation. He uses a relational style that can be directive when needed and intuitive when the moment calls for it. Sessions are structured around what the client brings, with an emphasis on clear, practical work rather than long lectures.
His practice includes work with dreams and attention to bodily experience through somatic exploration. These methods are used to help people notice patterns, access emotions, and change how they respond to difficult memories or sensations. He also integrates ketamine-assisted therapy as part of his offerings when appropriate.
Michael aims to help people better understand themselves and shift away from repeated patterns of pain. In sessions he makes space for both immediate problem-solving and deeper exploration of personal history and meaning. He balances active guidance with listening so clients can try new responses and build different habits.
People considering therapy with him should expect straightforward conversation about goals and actionable steps between sessions. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online work
Michael draws on relational work that supports a guided, conversational style. This approach focuses on the therapeutic relationship and uses the session structure to set goals, try new responses, and track progress over time.He also uses somatic exploration to help people notice and work with bodily sensations connected to emotions and memories. Somatic work can assist with trauma, anxiety, and learning different ways to settle the nervous system. Michael incorporates dreamwork to bring attention to themes and symbols that show up between sessions; that work often helps people name patterns and make different choices.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean focusing on practical coping skills at first, then adding somatic work or dream exploration as trust grows.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques like somatic exercises and dream discussion to work over distance, and the therapist will recommend the best way to structure sessions for your circumstances.
