About Mishel
Mishel Bhatti is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than 12 years of experience in the mental health field. She uses a collaborative, client-centered stance to shape treatment so it aligns with each person's goals, preferences, and circumstances.
Background and approach
Her work draws on practical therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed strategies to help clients address stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and self-esteem challenges. Bhatti has worked across a range of settings and brings experience with issues such as addiction, grief, parenting challenges, workplace stress, chronic illness and pain, and compassion fatigue.
She emphasizes respectful, sensitive engagement and aims to foster improvements in motivation, confidence, and symptom management through tailored dialogue and goal-focused planning. Prospective clients can expect an approach that balances immediate problem-solving with attention to underlying patterns and strengths.
Located in Texas, Mishel offers therapy in English and provides multiple session formats to fit different schedules and needs. She encourages those ready to pursue a more fulfilling life to take the initial step, noting that change begins with a single decision and collaborative work between client and therapist.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day challenges by teaching practical skills and coping strategies. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic therapeutic relationship where the therapist supports a client's own process of growth and decision-making, which can help with motivation, self-esteem, and personal insight. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that helps people find and strengthen their own motivation for change, often useful for addressing ambivalence around habits or addictions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Mishel approaches that decision collaboratively. She will work with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adapting methods over time as needs evolve so the plan remains relevant and practical.
Online therapy with this practice is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make scheduling more flexible and reduce travel time. These formats allow for consistent support while accommodating different rhythms of life, and they can be combined to match how a client likes to communicate and work toward their goals.
