About Michael
Michael Ebbinghaus is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with six years of clinical experience. He works with people who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships, or health, and with concerns such as relationships, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. He also focuses on topics like life purpose, men's issues, codependency, and aspects of alternative sexual cultures including BDSM and kink.
He follows a relational approach that combines directive guidance with responsive listening. Sessions are structured as collaborative conversations where goals and pacing are decided together. People can expect an approach that aims to help them better understand themselves and to move toward ways of living that reduce repeated patterns of pain.
Michael uses dreamwork and somatic exploration to access feelings and body-held experience that words alone may miss. He also incorporates ketamine-assisted therapy as part of his practice to deepen access to certain material. These methods are used to support work on trauma, shame, guilt, and questions about meaning and purpose.
In session he balances practical steps with deeper exploration. That can look like identifying small, concrete actions to try between sessions, noticing body responses, or using imagery and dream material to clarify what matters. He and the person at the center decide together which methods to try and when to adjust the plan.
Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients. For scheduling, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then set up a first appointment through the online options provided.
How Michael Integrates Approaches in Online Work
Michael combines relational conversation with experiential methods to address stuckness and life transition concerns. Dreamwork is used to bring images and night-time material into awake discussion; this can help uncover themes that repeat in relationships or life choices and give new language to what feels unclear.Somatic exploration focuses on body sensations and patterns. Paying attention to posture, breath, and bodily response can reveal how stress or trauma shows up and suggest concrete strategies to change those patterns. Ketamine-assisted therapy is offered as an adjunct when deeper access to feelings and memories is needed, used alongside discussion and somatic work to support processing.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. He will help clients decide together which approaches to try based on their concerns, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision-making includes checking in about how a method feels and adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use approaches like focused somatic practice or dream discussion without needing to be in the same room, while still working with a licensed professional to shape the work.
