About Michele
Michele Keller is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Missouri with 15 years of experience in helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, and codependency. She also supports people facing depression, grief, addiction, parenting challenges, career stress, and major life changes. Michele writes simply and directly in session to make progress feel manageable for busy lives.
She began counseling after a long career in the travel industry, where years of working across the United States and Europe shaped her openness and cultural awareness. That background influences how she listens and responds to different life stories. Michele has worked in private practice and intensive outpatient programs, giving her experience with varied needs and settings.
Her style is warm and practical. Michele focuses on clear goals and step-by-step tools clients can use between sessions. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on each person's values and pace.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts, manage intense emotions, and build better habits. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are part of how she helps people stay motivated and calm while making changes.
Michele aims to create a respectful, down-to-earth space where people can talk honestly about difficult topics. She invites those ready to explore changes to take the next step and see what works for them.
How Michele Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Many of Michele's methods translate to an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on helping people feel heard and respected while sessions follow the client’s pace and priorities. This approach helps when someone wants a caring space to sort out decisions or process emotions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is about identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises. It suits issues like anxiety, depression, and patterns that fuel codependent behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication when feelings run high.
Figuring out the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Michele will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and personal style. This means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the current options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people use mindfulness and homework exercises between sessions to build new habits over time.
