About me

I am a licensed therapist in Texas with several years of experience both as a counselor as well as a language teacher and business manager responsible for training and coaching for improved performance. Throughout my career, I've helped diverse clients grapple with severe depression & anxiety, relationship hurdles, parenting dilemmas, career obstacles, grief & loss, and the search for purpose or fulfillment in life. I'm also a certified yoga teacher and firmly believe in the value and benefit of mindfulness and meditation.

My therapeutic approach has been described as laid-back and "chill." I believe in treating everyone with utmost respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and reject stigmatizing labels. My approach is a blend of cognitive-behavioral therapy, internal family systems, solution-focused therapy, and the Gottman Method. I customize our discussions and treatment plans to suit your unique needs.

Starting on the path towards a more fulfilling and joyful life requires courage — the courage to make significant change. If you're ready to take that leap, I'm ready to provide unwavering support.

Looking forward to the opportunity to collaborate with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Michael McVey. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

I have had the opportunity to have Mr. Mike as my therapist. He is very straightforward forward which is something I greatly appreciate and also guided me in different points of view on my day-to-day life. I have been able to have better sleep and manage stress. Many of the techniques I've learned from Mr.Mike have helped in my everyday thought process, especially with negative thoughts. I feel better which is something I've been working toward and having Mr. Mike as a therapist has greatly helped me to achieve better mental health.

I have only had a couple session but they have been very beneficial for me. I look to continue this relationship and to grow from it!
