About Miguel De la fuente
Miguel Angel De La Fuente is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and U.S. Army Ranger combat veteran who combines clinical training, military leadership, and lived experience to support individuals facing trauma, mood concerns, and relationship challenges. He has worked as a mental health professional since 2018 and brings eight years of experience to his practice, integrating knowledge from his academic background and long-term involvement in health and fitness.
Miguel holds a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology, a master’s degree in Psychology, and is pursuing a doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology. His clinical style is intentionally eclectic - drawing on cognitive-behavioral methods, psychodynamic ideas, positive psychology, spiritual integration, and trauma-informed principles - so care can be tailored to each person’s needs. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and depression, and he also works with abandonment and attachment concerns, commitment and communication problems, control issues, disaster-related coping, and veteran and armed forces issues.
Rooted in a faith-informed perspective, Miguel founded FIRE-FORGED, a faith-based life coaching initiative centered on Faith, Identity, Resilience, and Execution, and he leads a men’s group called Biblical Manhood. He is the author of Fire-Forged: Reclaiming Biblical Manhood in a Generation of Drift. Outside clinical work, he emphasizes physical wellness as part of overall wellbeing, with decades of experience in health and fitness, involvement in CrossFit, and a passion for mountain biking. He is a father of six and brings that commitment to family life into his work with clients.
Miguel holds several trauma and specialized certifications including Certified Clinical Trauma Professional - Level I (CCTP-I) and Level II (CCTP-II) for complex trauma and dissociative disorders, a Certified Personality Disorder Treatment Provider credential, and the Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) Medical Provider Course completed in 2024. As an LPC, he provides therapeutic services that aim to help people heal, develop resilience, and pursue meaningful goals.

Approaches and Online Care with Miguel De La Fuente
Miguel draws on client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental setting where the client’s goals and values guide the work - this approach is helpful for relationship challenges, life transitions, and building self-awareness. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT is commonly applied for anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns. Additionally, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and increasing distress tolerance, which can be useful for mood instability and trauma-related symptoms.
Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Miguel works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors interventions over time, blending techniques when appropriate so care remains flexible and client-focused.

These options expand access across distances and time zones and can help people maintain consistent care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
