About Michele
Michele Keller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 15 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, grief, and life changes. Michele also supports people facing addiction, sleep problems, parenting challenges, anger, career stress, and issues related to ADHD and bipolar disorder.
Michele began a second career in counseling after more than 15 years in the travel industry. That background shaped a practical, open-minded approach to working with adults across many settings. She has worked in private practice and intensive outpatient programs, so she is used to both short-term focused work and longer-term support.
Her work emphasizes clear techniques and everyday skills. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, and she uses client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on the person's priorities.
Michele incorporates mindfulness and motivational interviewing when those methods fit a person's goals. She often teaches concrete skills for managing relationships, communication problems, and coping with chronic health or caregiver stress. Parents and caregivers are offered practical strategies for balancing responsibilities and self-care.
People meet Michele for straightforward, skill-focused sessions that build coping tools. She asks about current challenges, clarifies concrete goals, and practices techniques in session. The emphasis is on what people can try between meetings to make daily life more manageable.
How Michele’s approaches translate to online work
Michele commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns of thinking that keep problems going and then try specific alternatives. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and coping with life changes. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus conversations around the person's goals, keeping the work relevant and collaborative. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to build emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for people who need concrete tools for intense feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michele will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which skills and methods to use. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what someone needs now and what they want to practice between meetings.
