Engelbert Mittermayr, LCPC, LPC
Somatic-informed counselor focused on practical coping
About Engelbert
Engelbert Mittermayr is a licensed counselor with 12 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, bipolar challenges, and trauma. He works from a respectful stance that centers each person's experience. Engelbert emphasizes the client's own knowledge of their life and strengths as the starting point for change.
In sessions he uses a mix of practical talking and body-aware work rooted in somatic approaches. That means attention to physical sensations alongside thoughts and feelings.
Background and approach
He also draws on client-centered and cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping. People come to him for a range of concerns including LGBT related issues, abuse and trauma, and complicated grief. He also supports people facing abandonment, attachment difficulties, chronic pain and illness, gender dysphoria, or struggles with shame and isolation.
Engelbert addresses relationship and communication problems as they affect individuals' day-to-day life. Engelbert holds Nevada licensure as LCPC CP5778-R and an Oregon license as LPC C8140. He offers sessions in English and has worked across community and clinical settings during his career.
His approach is practical and straightforward, focusing on what a person needs now. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book a time that fits their schedule. Engelbert aims to create an open space where clients can try small changes and build on what already works for them.
Therapeutic approaches for online work
Engelbert blends somatic work with client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral tools to support people online. Somatic work pays attention to bodily sensations and how stress shows up in the body; it can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when patterns feel stuck. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and building on each person's own strengths to guide change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors to identify patterns that keep problems going and to try practical alternatives.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Engelbert collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. He adjusts techniques over time so sessions stay relevant and useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work between live meetings. Many people find the mix of synchronous and messaging formats helps them practice skills and stay connected with their therapist between sessions.
