About Michele
Michele Keller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with 15 years of experience in counseling work. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, relationship strain, grief, and big life changes. Michele also supports those facing issues like addiction, low self-esteem, parenting challenges, ADHD, and workplace stress.
Her counseling style is warm and practical. She uses straightforward conversations to identify problems and build steps forward. Michele emphasizes mindfulness, emotion regulation, and building skills that make daily life easier rather than only talking about the past.
Michele's background includes many years before counseling spent in the travel industry. That time living and traveling across the US and Europe shaped her cultural awareness and openness. She has worked in private practice and in intensive outpatient settings, so she is comfortable helping people in one-on-one sessions and in more structured treatment programs.
Clinically she draws on client-centered approaches along with cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior ideas. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused work when those fit the situation. This mix helps her tailor sessions to each person’s goals.
People who come to Michele can expect a hopeful, down-to-earth approach. Sessions focus on practical strategies, coping tools, and clearer communication. Michele aims to be encouraging and to help clients move toward more restful sleep and steadier daily functioning.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting, respectful relationship where the client’s goals lead the work; it helps when people need a therapist who listens and reflects their experience back plainly. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete tools to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills which can be useful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michele will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that fit their needs, goals, and daily life. That means adjusting techniques over time and mixing approaches when it helps the client make steady progress.
Confirm session formats before booking so you know what is offered for online work. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use mindfulness and behavioral tools in the environments where they live. Talk with the therapist during the match process to decide which approaches and practical arrangements will work best for you.
