About Michael
Michael Shupp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with three years of experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and issues related to identity and intimacy. He also supports people facing parenting questions, career transitions, and coping with life changes.
Shupp often focuses on patterns that began in the family you grew up in, including family of origin issues and how early roles or expectations show up now. He helps people notice repeating dynamics and try different responses. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with time spent identifying small changes that make daily life easier.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. He also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals and track progress. These methods are used to address anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Before clinical practice he spent time in healthcare leadership, which informs his work with people balancing demanding careers and family responsibilities. That background influences how he talks about stress and time management in sessions.
Conversations are collaborative and straightforward. Expect to talk through specific situations, try new strategies between meetings, and review what is or isn’t working. For session formats and scheduling, confirm current options before booking.
