About Michael
Michael Hernandez is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) practicing in Tennessee. He brings 20 years of professional experience helping people navigate relationship strain, grief, and life transitions. He speaks English and Spanish and works to make the first steps into therapy less intimidating.
He focuses on relationship concerns and family stress, and supports people dealing with loss and grief. He helps clients rebuild self-esteem and confidence, and tackle questions about life purpose.
How Michael works
Communication difficulties, forgiveness, and dealing with guilt and shame are also areas he addresses. His style centers on creating an open, nonjudgmental space for people to share thoughts and feelings. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical, with a focus on what matters most to each person.
Michael encourages small, manageable steps toward clearer communication and healthier coping. He invites people to take the first step even when it feels difficult. The process begins with a brief questionnaire and scheduling that matches a client with his availability.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling follows the therapist's posted times. Michael's long experience gives him a broad base to draw from while keeping each plan tailored. He works collaboratively to set goals and track progress, using techniques that fit each person's needs and daily life.

How evidence-based techniques can help online
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear skills and practical change. Cognitive strategies help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try different ways of thinking to reduce guilt, shame, and low self esteem. Behavioral approaches involve setting small, achievable tasks that build confidence and improve daily routines after a loss or major life change.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and life demands and suggest techniques that fit. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.

Many people find that remote sessions let them keep consistent momentum while working on relationship issues, grief, and life transitions with a licensed professional.
