More about Michael
- 24 years' experience

- LPC
I am a family and marriage counselor licensed in Texas with over 17years of experience working as a psychotherapist and life coach. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is empathetic and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I am able to provide help and support to both the Christian population as well as non-Christians equally without judgment. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, supportive and rational-emotive counseling depending on your unique and specific needs. I enjoy and have had success working with couples, both married and pre-marital, individuals, and families struggling with a wide range of issues.
Your first steps to getting the help you need and working to move forward with your life is a sign of courage that I respect and will work to build on.. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to getting to know you and helping you move forward!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Great therapist, offers solutions, listens, identifies issues and gives advice on many different aspects of life to help with anything being experienced.

Michael is has been great during our sessions.
Mike has been helping me for a number of years now and I honestly feel that his help was instrumental in my outlook on life changing for the better.

Very grateful for Michael Edwards and the support he provides
Michael is very calming and insightful! Michael definitely pays attention and responds to the needs I’ve been struggling with.
Michael is a great listener and responder. He has been a great help to me.
Michael feels both professional and comfortable speaking with - that combination of trust and guidance one needs in therapy. While he is also open occasionally about his own life, I find it useful for my own therapeutic needs. It took me two tries to find Michael so am glad stuck around BH and did!
Michael has been so helpful! If you are considering BetterHelp - see if you can hook into Michael’s schedule. He provides excellent guidance with factual and concrete kinds of exercises that help you identify and drill down into things that you can actually manage. It’s a whole new world of therapy with Michael. Try it!
I have worked with Michael for about 6 months and he has been very helpful, and calm.
I wish I can talk to him everyday. Always brighten up my day. I feel completely comfortable talking with Micheal.
He has a good mix of "catching up" issues as well as longer-term goals during each session.
Michael is an incredible therapist and human being. He is kind, compassionate, and authentic. He gave concise and effective advice that got to the root of several issues that I was having in my life. I had been battling depression, anger, anxiety, and many other negative core beliefs over the past ten years. With Michael’s help, I was able set healthy boundaries, learned how to plan and implement effective goals, and learned how to improve my communication skills. He helped me rebuild confidence and self-worth. My life is now very stable and I feel prepared and capable of confronting any future challenges. The tools and advice that he shared with me are invaluable, and I will continue using and implementing them into my everyday life. Thank you, Michael, for your help and advice. I will be forever grateful. The experience of therapy and counseling will always be a happy memory for me.
I think I answered the 2/3 question unfavorably but that was a mistake lol it didn’t let me go back to correct, I was clicking through to quickly!
Michael is both a easy going and expert at what he does. I feel heard by aomeone who understands my values.
Michael was a very helpful therapist. He was very friendly and nice to chat with. He provided some good insight to what I needed to work on, with helpful exercises which became my personal tools that I can use time and time again in my everyday life. I’m glad I tried out the BetterHelp app and found a good therapist to help me get through some of the tough times that I was going through. I hope to return to the app again in the future if or when I need to.
Michael is both calming and authoritative. He knows what he's talking about, while still allowing me to do the talking I need to do. Would highly recommend him. In fact he's one of the reasons that I continue to recommend BetterHelp to others.
Helpful worksheets and plans and ideas to improve my marriage.
I’ve been having sessions with Michael for over 5 months now and he has been very helpful especially offering helpful worksheets for me to try and put to good use. I’ve found this experience helpful and glad I had considered trying it.
Very grateful for the help and advice Michael gave me. Really helped me to have a more positive perspective on my life and my future. He was there for me when I really needed some to not only give me advice but just someone to listen. Always responded to my text. Helped me really get through a tough time.
I really enjoyed my session with Michael! It was my first time speaking with a licensed therapist and he’s really experienced. He made it easy for me to really open up and was very patient and understanding. I would really recommend him to any of my friends
Michael is warm, compassionate, and honest. He has helped me tremendously as a fellow mental health professional in a relatively short period of time. I appreciate his knowledge and expertise, as well as his skill with modeling/strategizing how to set up healthy boundaries. Overall, Michael is a high-quality therapist!
Great listener and provided new perspectives that I hadn’t considered. Would recommend!!!
A kind man that appears to be goal driven. By constantly asking me what I want the therapy to help me with specifically it requires me to shape my goals and aspirations. He then follows up with concise advice and is willing to listen to the wails of a frustrated and angry man. That my friends is a Texas sized portion of help.
In the short time I spent with Michael he was very personable, I felt he asked good questions that allowed him to know me and what I am going through. I especially like that he is willing to include biblical experience and knowledge be a part of his counseling.
I just want to say thank you to my counselor for being respectful and empathetic, professional but also compassionate and most of all, offering spiritual Christian guidance to me at a time as this. There aren’t many Christian counselors out there who openly identify as such and do not compromise in their advice giving. Simply put, if you’re looking for a counselor that can pray with you/ for you/ refer you to the Bible and encourage you in the things of The Lord, go with Michael Edwards !
Mr. Micheal is so kind, caring and thoughtful. I feel so blessed to know him . And I want to THANK him for listening to me and understands me. Thanks a million.
