Dr Michael Fresques

Psychologist

“I am an experienced (27 years) psychologist who uses an integrative approach which relies on the relationship built between us.”

About Me

As an experienced psychologist, I believe the relationship we build is central to our work together. My integrative approach helps us explore your unique challenges, tailoring support to your specific needs. This makes me a good match for individuals seeking a deeply personal and effective path forward. We work at your pace, allowing genuine connection to guide our sessions.

Approach

Trust and careful listening shape how I guide our work, helping us find what matters most and move at a pace that feels right. I offer sessions in Austin and via online meetings, and I can incorporate sign language support when needed to keep communication clear. In sessions we explore feelings, patterns and practical steps together—sometimes using brief between-session exercises to track change and anchor new habits. This way of working tends to suit people navigating transitions, loss, relationship shifts or persistent anxiety who value thoughtful, steady collaboration.
