About Michele
Michele Keller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 15 years of experience. She works with adults on problems like anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, grief, addictions, and codependency.
Her counseling began after a long career in the travel industry. That background shaped how she listens and how she notices cultural differences. Michele has worked in private practice and in intensive outpatient programs, so she is used to helping people in varied settings.
In sessions she focuses on practical skills and concrete changes. Michele uses approaches that break big problems into small steps. She teaches tools for managing strong feelings, handling conflict, and improving day-to-day functioning.
She often draws on cognitive and dialectical behavior strategies to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. Mindfulness and motivational techniques are also part of her work when they fit a person’s goals.
Michele pays attention to how life transitions, chronic health problems, and caregiving stress affect mood and relationships. She also supports people navigating kink and alternative sex cultures, aging concerns, and blended family challenges.
People who seek help with codependency or patterns of overgiving can expect clear skill coaching, role practice, and steps for setting limits. The focus is on what to try between sessions and how to notice small progress toward more balanced interactions.
How sessions work
How Michele’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to a person’s concerns in straightforward ways to build trust and clarity. It helps when someone needs a place to sort through what matters and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and gives concrete exercises to test new ways of acting and thinking. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and unhelpful relationship habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. Those skills help with intense emotions, boundary-setting, and following through on changes.Finding the right blend of methods is part of how she works. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they decide which tools and exercises to try. That collaborative planning guides what is practiced in sessions and what homework might look like.
The practical benefits of online therapy are that sessions can fit into a busy week and make scheduling simpler. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Many people appreciate being able to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or choose a meeting style that fits their day while still working on the same skills they would in person.
