Michelle Farias, LPC

Michelle Farias is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 25 years of clinical experience. She supports people managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, and LGBTQ issues, and offers focused care for caregiver stress, guilt and shame, hospice and end-of-life counseling, questions about life purpose and midlife transitions, panic disorder, social anxiety, workplace challenges, and young adult concerns.

Her therapeutic style emphasizes the client as the center of care while integrating practical, evidence-informed methods. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness therapy, and solution-focused techniques to help clients develop skills, reduce distress, and pursue meaningful change. Michelle frequently works with parents of anxious children as well as LGBTQ individuals, and she adapts her pace and communication to each person’s comfort level.

Michelle prefers to begin with a video meeting but allows clients to choose video, phone, or chat when that better fits their needs. She checks messages twice daily Monday through Friday and offers live phone and video appointments at a range of times. Clients are asked to join sessions from a private room for safety, and sessions will not be conducted while a client is driving or riding in a car. She responds to messages in a timely manner but does not monitor messaging on weekends or holidays. Michelle does not work with international clients and is not accepting new clients at this time.

If urgent help is needed at any point, clients should call 1-800-273-TALK or 911. Additional resources and information are available on her website https://www.michellefarias.com/.
