About Michael
Michael McVey is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Texas. He blends practical strategies with calm, down-to-earth guidance to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. He emphasizes respect and sensitivity in sessions.
He uses a mix of approaches aimed at solving real problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. The Gottman Method provides tools for improving communication and managing relationship conflict.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and meditation are woven in, drawing on his background as a certified yoga teacher. Michael also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small steps that lead to change. Internal Family Systems helps people understand different parts of themselves and how those parts interact.
He adapts these methods to each person’s needs rather than following a single script. He has three years of clinical experience and a prior background in teaching languages and managing teams, which informs his coaching and training style. That experience supports clear explanations and practical homework between sessions.
Sessions are conversational and paced to each person. Michael aims to create a calm space where people can talk through tough topics, learn tools they can use right away, and build on small wins toward larger goals.

Online support
Using therapy methods online to build better communication
Michael combines the Gottman Method with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness to help people tackle relationship stress and personal anxiety. The Gottman Method focuses on communication skills, managing conflict, and rebuilding trust through clear, practical exercises. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with healthier choices that reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment with breathing and awareness techniques that can lower stress and improve emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michael will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in early sessions. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, so therapy stays focused on what matters to the person seeking help.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people practice communication skills face-to-face. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or on a short break. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into daily life and keep steady momentum between meetings.
