About Michele
Michele Markulec is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, major life changes, and stress. Michele also helps people facing caregiver stress, codependency, obsessive thoughts and behaviors, and feelings of guilt and shame.
Michele sees many clients who feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck in repetitive thinking. She focuses on helping people notice patterns in their thoughts and emotions and on building practical coping skills. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented, with space to talk through what feels most urgent.

She is also pursuing further training in Cognitive Processing Therapy for trauma-related concerns.
Michele works with couples experiencing communication problems, repeated conflict, or emotional distance, and she draws on Gottman-informed strategies to address interaction patterns. Her style aims to reduce blame and focus on clearer communication and repair. She supports people navigating grief and loss as part of her work.
People who come to Michele can expect direct conversation about thoughts and behaviors, practical homework between sessions, and step-by-step planning for change. She encourages straightforward goals and checks progress as therapy continues.
How Michele’s approaches translate to online work
Michele draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts. CBT breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so clients can try small behavioral changes and see what shifts. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify immediate goals and practical steps. That approach is brief and action-oriented, useful when someone wants quick, manageable changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michele discusses options with each client and decides together which methods fit their goals and preferences. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and checks in regularly to adjust strategies as needed.
