About Kilee
Kilee Mikell is an Alabama LICSW with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, chronic health conditions, relationship and family strain, and stress tied to work or caregiving. Kilee also supports people in helping professions who are dealing with burnout or compassion fatigue.
She listens without judgment and helps people name what feels overwhelming. Sessions focus on practical steps to manage symptoms and handle day-to-day demands. Conversations are straightforward and grounded in the person’s real life rather than abstract theory.
Kilee draws on client-centered work to follow the person’s priorities, and she uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot patterns that keep problems going. She also teaches skills from dialectical behavior therapy to regulate strong emotions and manage crisis moments.
Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are part of her approach when they fit a person’s goals. Those tools are used to build steady habits and clearer motivation for change. Kilee helps people break down big problems into small, doable steps.
People come when they are stuck, exhausted, or unsure what to do next. In early sessions she focuses on what matters most now and sets concrete goals. Over time the work shifts toward stronger boundaries, clearer communication, and routines that reduce overwhelm.
How sessions work
How her methods translate to online work
Client-centered therapy centers the person’s concerns and priorities, so online sessions focus on what the client wants to address each week. That approach helps keep sessions practical and responsive to immediate problems.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks issues into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions use that structure to spot unhelpful patterns and practice different responses between meetings. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) provides concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that can be taught in short exercises and practiced between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through what is most useful for current goals and adapt methods over time. Clients and the therapist check in regularly to see which tools are helping and which need adjustment.
Confirm the specific session formats before you book, since the profile does not list formats. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten check-ins when time is limited, or use audio-only for sessions that do not require video. Licensed professionals can also offer focused skills sessions for managing panic, sleep, or boundary practice without promising a particular format.
