About Michele
Michele Keller is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and everyday challenges like sleep and parenting. She also supports people navigating ADHD, addiction, career strain, and intimacy concerns. Michele works with adults seeking clear strategies and steady support during tough times.
She began counseling after a long career in the travel industry, which included living in Pennsylvania and Texas and traveling across the US and Europe.
Background and approach
That background shaped a broad perspective and an easygoing way of talking about life changes. Michele has practiced in Missouri for many years in settings that include independent practice and intensive outpatient programs. Her style is warm and practical.
Michele focuses on short-term, goal-oriented work while keeping an eye on long-term coping skills. Sessions often break problems down into smaller steps and build skills such as emotion regulation and better communication. Michele uses approaches that include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.
She teaches techniques for distress tolerance, mindful awareness, and problem solving so people can try small changes between sessions. People who want a straightforward, encouraging clinician tend to find her easy to talk with. Michele emphasizes collaboration and helps clients build plans that fit their daily lives.
Her aim is to help people leave therapy with useful tools and clearer next steps.
How Michele’s approaches translate to online therapy
Michele commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. DBT teaches specific skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress when life gets hard.She also brings a Client-Centered Therapy stance, which means sessions start from the person’s goals and priorities. Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Michele will discuss options and tailor the plan to fit each person’s needs and preferences rather than prescribing one fixed path.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and messaging let people share thoughts between sessions or fit short check-ins into a busy day. These options help people access therapy around work, caregiving, or travel without changing the core therapeutic work.
