About Mishel
Mishel Bhatti is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 12 years in the mental health field. She uses a client-centered approach to help people reduce anxiety and depression and build motivation and self-esteem. She has worked in settings that include the criminal justice system and services for veterans.
That background contributes to a practical understanding of stress, trauma, and life changes. Mishel focuses on issues such as anger, grief, relationship strain, addictions, and workplace stress.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around each person's needs. Mishel listens first, then collaborates on goals and steps that feel realistic. She combines client-centered work with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused techniques to help people notice patterns and try different strategies.
Motivational interviewing is used when change feels hard. Trauma‑focused methods are used when past events continue to cause distress. These approaches are applied in straightforward ways to support coping, improve sleep, and manage intense feelings like anger.
Mishel aims to make therapy clear and doable. She helps people set small, measurable goals and checks progress along the way. The tone is respectful and direct, with an emphasis on practical change.
Her practice supports people dealing with chronic pain and illness, first responder and veteran concerns, multicultural issues, and women's issues. Sessions are offered in English and take place through several online formats.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Mishel blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people change patterns of thinking and behavior that feed anxiety, depression, and anger. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and tailoring sessions to what the person values, while CBT offers concrete exercises for noticing thoughts, testing beliefs, and trying new behaviors.She also uses motivational interviewing to support people who feel stuck about making changes. That approach relies on guided conversation to find personal reasons for change and build small steps toward goals. These methods are adaptable to issues like stress, substance use, grief, and trauma-related symptoms.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Mishel will talk with clients about needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods together to see what fits. She checks in on progress and adjusts strategies so work stays relevant and achievable.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is used when visual connection helps the work, phone can be helpful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or geographically distant situations.
