About Michael

Michael Hernandez is a Tennessee LPC-MHSP with 20 years of clinical experience. He helps people who feel stuck by addressing relationship strain, family conflict, grief and loss, self-esteem concerns, and the strain of major life changes.

Michael focuses on clear, practical conversations. He helps people name what is hard, sort priorities, and practice new ways of communicating. Sessions aim to break big problems into manageable steps so progress can be seen between meetings.

He also works on communication problems, forgiveness, and feelings of guilt and shame. Michael supports clients who are reassessing purpose after a life change and those who feel unsure about what comes next. He uses evidence-based methods to guide the work rather than relying on vague platitudes.

Clients can expect direct feedback, opportunities to rehearse difficult conversations, and techniques to handle strong emotions. The therapist explains tools in plain language and tries them together with the client to see what fits.

Michael offers sessions in English and Spanish. People interested in starting are asked to follow the site's matching steps to schedule a first meeting. The approach is practical and focused on finding next steps rather than promising a single answer.

Using evidence-based techniques in remote sessions

Michael describes his approach as practical and evidence-based. One common technique involves teaching specific communication skills. That helps people state needs clearly and manage conflict more effectively. Another common method focuses on coping skills for grief and strong emotions. This gives people steps to reduce overwhelm and carry on daily routines with fewer disruptions.

Finding the right way of working is part of the therapy process. He will review what has helped in the past, ask about current goals, and suggest approaches to try. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods fit best and adjust as progress is tracked.

The site asks new clients to use a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to keep therapy manageable alongside daily life.
