About Michael
Michael Ebbinghaus is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with six years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are carrying difficult feelings around relationships, trauma, self-esteem, depression, life changes, and guilt and shame. He also supports people concerned about BDSM and kink, codependency, divorce and separation, men's issues, post-traumatic stress, life purpose, and self-love.
Michael uses a relational approach that mixes clear guidance with attentive listening. Sessions are shaped by conversation, and he works with clients to decide what to try next rather than following a fixed script. That gives room for practical steps and deeper personal reflection in the same meeting.
He offers somatic exploration to help people notice how emotions show up in the body. He also uses dreamwork as a way to bring unconscious material into conversation so it can be reflected on and understood. Michael includes ketamine-assisted therapy as one of the tools he uses to access deeper material when appropriate.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation about patterns and choices. Michael helps people name what keeps repeating and then tries small, concrete changes to shift those patterns. Sessions often combine talk, attention to body experience, and reflections on dreams.
People choose him when they want a therapist who balances direction with openness. He works in English, practices in Texas, and accepts international clients. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Michael combines somatic exploration and dreamwork alongside ketamine-assisted therapy to open different pathways for reflection and change. Somatic exploration focuses on noticing body sensations tied to emotions and can help when feelings are stuck or hard to name. Dreamwork brings attention to images and themes that appear in dreams so they can be talked about and connected to waking life. Ketamine-assisted therapy is used as a tool to access deeper emotional material when clients and clinician agree it may be helpful.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and how they prefer to work. Together they decide whether to emphasize body-focused exercises, dream-based reflection, ketamine-assisted sessions, or a mix of methods so the plan fits the client's needs and comfort level.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care and to adapt how work is done to everyday life.
