About Michael
Michael Ebbinghaus is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on men's wellbeing and related concerns. He helps people understand themselves better and move toward lives they want instead of repeating familiar patterns of pain. He works with issues like relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes, and offers support around men's issues, codependency, guilt, and finding life purpose.
Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Michael describes his work as relational - he combines clear direction with attention to intuitive, felt experience. That means sessions may include practical steps alongside opportunities to notice how feelings show up in the body.
He draws on dreamwork and somatic exploration to help clients access harder-to-reach material. Those methods aim to connect emotions, bodily sensation, and personal meaning rather than staying only at the level of ideas.
His practice also incorporates ketamine-assisted therapy as a tool to deepen access to states of awareness that can support therapeutic change. Michael frames this work as part of a broader, guided process rather than a quick fix.
Michael has six years of clinical experience practicing in Texas. He sees people in English and is open to working with international clients. Prospective clients who want to learn more are encouraged to complete the site's matching questionnaire to begin the process.
Approaches that connect body, meaning, and emotion
Michael uses approaches that help people access feelings and experiences beyond just talking. Dreamwork is used to notice images and stories from sleep, then link them to current life patterns and emotions. This can help people see personal themes and find new ways to respond to old patterns. Somatic exploration focuses on bodily sensation and movement to locate where stress and emotion show up in the body, and to practice ways of resourcing and regulating those sensations.He also integrates ketamine-assisted therapy as part of a guided clinical process to help deepen access to thoughts and feelings that are otherwise hard to reach. In practice this means combining preparation, supported experiences, and follow-up conversation to translate those experiences into everyday change.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust methods as therapy progresses. Clients can expect the approach to be explained and chosen together rather than imposed.
If you are considering online work, please confirm the specific session formats before booking because formats were not detailed in the original profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Talk with the therapist about practical needs like camera use, session length, and scheduling so sessions match daily routines.
