About Michael
Michael Ebbinghaus is a licensed professional counselor who helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward a more satisfying life. He focuses on making sense of painful patterns and finding practical ways to change them. Sessions are built around a calm, straightforward conversation aimed at small, doable shifts.
He blends a relational style with clear structure, so sessions feel both warm and focused. Michael balances direct guidance with listening closely to each person’s needs.
Background and approach
Over time this approach helps people name old habits and test new behaviors in daily life. His work addresses relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, depression, and coping with life changes. He also offers support around issues such as BDSM and kink culture, codependency, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, men’s issues, post-traumatic stress, life purpose, and self-love.
Michael draws on techniques that invite body awareness and imagery, and he incorporates ketamine-assisted therapy as part of his practice when appropriate. These methods are used to reach deeper material that words alone sometimes miss and to open new ways of seeing difficult experiences.
He has six years of clinical experience and practices in Texas as an LPC, which is Licensed Professional Counselor. People who choose him can expect practical steps, clear feedback, and a partnership that emphasizes testing new ways of living.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Michael uses methods that help connect emotions, body sensations, and images. One approach invites somatic exploration, which means noticing bodily sensations and learning how they relate to feelings and behavior. This can help people who carry tension, panic, or stuck feelings in their bodies regain a sense of choice and calm.He also works with dreamwork and imagery to bring forward unconscious material. Using guided imagery or talking about dreams can reveal patterns and offer new perspectives on problems like shame, relationship repeating, or loss. Additionally, ketamine-assisted therapy is part of his practice and may be used to deepen access to material that is otherwise hard to reach; this is integrated with talk and somatic work as needed.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try and how to pace the work.
Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before scheduling. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks or between obligations. Some techniques translate well to remote work, while others may be adapted or reserved for in-person settings depending on availability and clinical judgment.
