More about me

Licensing: LPC Licensed professional counselor LCDC Licensed chemical dependency counselor Masters in educational psychology Years in Practice: 20 State: Texas

I am Leeann Mickel, I have a masters degree in educational psychology with an emphasis on community counseling. I have my LPC, licensed professional counselor Masters level. I also have an LC DC licensed chemical dependency counselor. I have worked 20 + years in the field of service. I have had great success with clients who have experienced significant trauma. I have been Clinical Supervisor for a substance abuse residential setting. I am currently Clinical Director for the agency with whom I am employed

at this time. I believe it to be my mission helping and serving. My approach is client centered we start where you are. I am very laid-back and personable, I have forever been told how easy it is to talk to me, even prior to my chosen career! That’s a plus when you’re a therapist! I have some clients who simply need an ear and guidance. Others are eager to get to the cause of what prompted them to reach out. Either is great. I understand that some people need to vent and receive professional advice. I tell all of my clients you have inside you now everything you need to heal and progress. My job is to guide you on the journey in this process of self discovery and healing. I also tell my clients that I will work just as hard as you in doing this, but I will never work harder. This would cause more harm by handicapping them if others around never allow my clients to learn through experience, and rob my client of demonstrating to themselves the opportunity to see how capable they actually are. I have worked with many populations: adolescents, adults with variety of disorders/conditions. Such as mental health diagnosis like depression, bi polar, anxiety, and PTSD. For the last six years I have led our adolescent program. I'm very familiar with self harming behaviors, and have a knack of being able to reach them and slowly process into self love. I also have extensive experience with grief which may look different and feel different among different clients. Even those who believe that have mourned and grieved, but truly have not. I look forward to working with you and helping you along your specific path. My schedule is very flexible, as a I only work from home, virtually/remote. During therapy it will be common to give 'experiments' following a session. The purpose for this is taking from our sessions and applying what you learn to your 'real life' outside of one session weekly for an hour.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

I have only met Cynthia twice, but in that time she has treated me with dignity and respect and made me feel validated.

She has been very wonderful and helpful and works with me where I am at and ready to work.

Cynthia has been a god send in my time of need. She listens without judgement and offered helpful tools to help me get through a tough relationship. I unfortunately need to take a pause but will look forward to reconnecting with her when I return. Thank you for all you do! I feel so much stronger than I did a few weeks ago and I owe it to you!

Cynthia provides valuable support and guidance to help understand a bit more about myself. Understand that it’s important to check on myself on a daily and not to feel at fault for my flaws or behaviors.

It is rare to find an active listener. She loves being of help beyond that, but let's be rea: I don't shut up. That she pays attention is a testament to her strength of will, stg.

Cynthia Mickel is an excellent therapist who is very attentive and informative. Her background has been helpful and useful meeting all of my needs. Thank you Cynthia for everything.

Gives a great non-judgmental view of situations

Cynthia is an amazing therapist. She’s the best therapist I’ve had in 30 years of therapy. She listens and understands and I never feel rushed or unimportant. My insurance offered to pay for another therapist outside of BetterHelp but I still pay for BH just so I can keep Cynthia. She’s the best!

Love her. Experienced and very good at listening and asking good questions.

It’s taken me years to find a therapist who’s helped me this much.

I greatly appreciate Cynthia Mickey. She has been a tremendous help for me through a difficult time. I highly recommend her.

We matched on the first try within 24 hours, Still not sure, I was quickly put at ease. Cynthia is an active listener, who remembers past sessions or information in your journals. Remembering is key for me because it shows how much she listens, strives to understand her patient, and makes you accountable.

Cynthia is probably the best therapist I’ve ever had. I’m incredibly grateful to have connected with her.

Best therapist ever!!

Cynthia is a great therapist. She has great listening skills and understands my issues.

Give her a raise. She’s worth it.

She makes me feel safe

I enjoy my sessions. Some are making priority lists and others are checking things off lists. Being held accountable without judgment and she provides encouragement to achieve more out of life.

She’s been a great help to me so far! I can’t wait to tackle everything that I need to and to be healed, in the end.

I'm so glad that I was connected with Cynthia. I'm not someone who talks freely to just anyone about my trauma filled past, and being a few letters in LGBTQ2SIA+. But, I feel comfortable talking with her. She is kind, caring and really listens to me. I feel I'm making a lot of progress.

She’s a great therapist and genuinely shows empathy and compassion

shes easy to talk to

Amazing, no judgment and helps to see situations without bias

She’s amazing.

I’ve only seen her for a couple of sessions but I am so glad that she is my therapist. She empathizes with grief and just understands what that means. It’s amazing to find a therapist that works for me because sometimes that’s hard and she is amazing.’ I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to be her client.

Im so happy I started seeing Cynthia. I feel more like myself than I have in years. She continues to provide valuable insight to help me become more and more of who I want to be. I have a better handle on stress, and a lot more emotional control.

Best therapist ever. She is very smat, experienced and compassionate.

Cynthia has been very helpful for me. An hour conversation feels like ten minutes. She's the best. She's a great listener and gives great insight. Perfect match.

She was so incredible and an amazing listener. I’d recommended her to anyone :)

Incredibly grateful for Mickel's warmth, kindness, patience, encouragement and support. A strong woman you can crack a joke with and then talk trauma. Cynthia Leanne Mickel has helped me in more ways than I thought possible. Thank You.

Cynthia is qualified, amazing and funny. She is really helping me so much. I feel she truly cares.

Cynthia has always been so kind and supportive in helping me get through the most difficult time in my life.

I highly recommend Ms. Mickel. She is a great listener and her voice and words are very calming. She is very relaxed, non-intimidating, and helps you to connect the dots. Very knowledgeable. A very good experience.

I couldn't have found a more perfect match for therapy. She understands all of my issues very well and it has very provocative things to say to help get me to process whatever needs to be processed. I would highly recommend her to anybody who has as many complex issues as I have dealing with depression, addiction, trauma, And trying to get over this pandemic quarantine that has made us all crazy. I couldn't recommend her any more highly

I love Cynthia ! She really listens to me and values everything that I share with her :)

Cynthia is great!

Cynthia listens to me and helps relax my nerves. She's great!

My therapist Cynthia Mickel has been helping me so much… this is the first time I have joined therapy and she has helped me have a good experience with it.. she has always listened to me and respects my emotions and helps me work through them.. and even past problems that have caused me anxiety!! She has helped me!!

Cynthia listens and takes in everything I’m saying. I appreciate the way she engages with me. She asks questions, confirms what I’m feeling and provides me with advice and tools I can use to improve my life. I can see and feel things shifting. At first I thought I’d give therapy a month but now I’ll be extending out because the benefits and what I’m learning is so worthwhile. The app itself too is fantastic! It’s nice to know Cynthia is there for me outside of our session times!

Fantastic therapist. Amazing person. Highly recommend her.

Cynthia has been such an amazing therapist, I would highly recommend her to anyone. She has always been wonderfully supportive, providing great insights and guidance. I will really miss speaking with her on a weekly basis but I know feel that it's time I take on the world on my own. I don't think I would be the happy, confident and insightful individual I am today if it wasn't for her support.

Cynthia is the best. She is down to earth, practical, connects quickly to you as a client and has professional training and more importantly in my opinion - life experience!

cynthia is kind and genuine. i feel she cares and wants to listen. i always want to hug her after our sessions, but that would be weird. and also impossible. because it's virtual.

Amazing Therapist giving me fresh perspective on my specific situation which is quite complex.

Cynthia is a lovely, open-hearted Person.

I enjoy working with Cynthia. It’s easy to open up and not feel judged. She is a great listener and has tools that I can with me to work on.

Cynthia is so fantastic!!! I feel like I met a friend

She's great. Nuff said.

Cynthia is an amazing listener and helps me realize a lot of things about myself and life in general. She gives great advice and is always respectful.

She’s very understanding in what I tell her always. She gets where I’m coming from. She’s super sweet & easy to open up to. You really do get the vibe that you’re in a safe space.

Cynthia is really relatable and patient. And provides a very good and safe place for me to just unpack, and be confident she will be there to help me make my way back to a good mental space after a particularly introspective session. Very kind and approachable as well when it comes to deeper themes that could potentially be triggering to talk about with other therapists - Cynthia does her best!

As a person who had never had proffesional help before these sessions have been very eye opening. And helped me learn a lot about myself and the whole process. Cynthia has been very helpful to me and i hope you she will be the same for you.
