Dr Michael Klaybor

Counseling Psychologist

“Cognitive behavioral therapist specializing in anxiety, stress and depression with tools and techniques to get your life back on track.”

About Me

This Counseling psychologist uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help individuals facing anxiety, stress, and depression. They provide practical tools and techniques to understand challenging thoughts and develop new ways of responding. Sessions are designed to equip you with clear strategies, helping you regain control and get your life back on track. This approach is ideal for those seeking concrete steps to manage difficult emotions and move forward.

Approach

I guide sessions to move from pinpointing a stuck thought to testing it with simple, doable experiments that free up energy for daily demands. Whether we meet in my Houston office or online in English, sessions are focused and paced to fit your life and commitments. You’ll leave with brief between-session exercises targeting stress, burnout, chronic health challenges or patterns tied to substance use, and we track what actually changes. This practical, action-focused rhythm suits adults seeking clear steps to feel steadier and more capable.
