About Michele
Michele Keller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 15 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, and big life changes. Michele also addresses addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, career questions, and ADHD among other concerns.
She began counseling after a long career in the travel industry. Those years living and working in different states and abroad shaped her view of people and culture. Michele has provided care in private practice and in intensive outpatient programs, so she is familiar with a range of clinical settings.
In sessions she uses straightforward, practical methods. Michele focuses on cognitive and dialectical behavior strategies alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing. That means clients can expect skills work for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, communication, and changing unhelpful thinking patterns.
She describes her style as positive and solution-focused, with attention to both coping skills and personal values. Michele often helps people develop specific tools to manage anxiety, handle relationship conflicts, or navigate transitions such as divorce or job change.
Clients who work with her typically do concrete skill practice between meetings. She also supports people dealing with complex combinations of issues, such as chronic illness plus mood symptoms, or grief alongside parenting demands. To start, she asks about immediate concerns, goals, and what has helped in the past.
How her methods translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person's own priorities. The therapist reflects concerns, clarifies goals, and helps the client decide what to work on. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) includes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques can help with strong emotions, relationship conflict, and managing urges.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michele will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what works. That means sessions can shift toward skills practice, reflective talk, or problem-focused work depending on the client's needs and preferences.

Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, avoid travel time, or have shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows practicing skills in everyday settings and keeping continuity of care during life transitions. Licensed professionals can adapt worksheets, behavioral experiments, and mindfulness exercises to an online setting to support steady progress.
