About Kilee
Kilee Mikell is an Alabama LICSW with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, relationship strain, parenting pressures, and anger. She also sees people coping with chronic illness, addiction, grief, and compassion fatigue from helping professions.
Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Sessions focus on what is happening now and practical steps people can try between meetings. She listens for patterns that feed anger or resentment, then helps clients notice triggers and test different ways of responding. Kilee uses grounding and skills practice to reduce moments of overwhelm so people can make clearer choices.
She draws on client-centered methods to keep conversations focused on each person’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and replace it with more useful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness tools are offered when strong emotions or impulsive reactions are common.
Sessions also use motivational interviewing to help people who feel stuck make changes at their own pace. Kilee combines these approaches into short, clear exercises and homework tasks that fit into everyday life. She often works with people who need help managing anger around close relationships, at work, or while caregiving.
If someone wants to start, Kilee asks them to describe the problems they want to change. That helps shape the first few sessions and decide which skills will be most useful going forward.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy is about focusing on what matters most to the person in the room. It involves listening, reflecting, and shaping sessions around the client’s priorities so work feels relevant and useful. CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is practical and problem-focused and helps with anger, anxiety, and low mood by testing small behavior changes and new ways of thinking.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. Mindfulness elements help people notice their body and thoughts before acting. Kilee uses these approaches together so sessions cover both insight and hands-on skills practice.
Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. Kilee will help people decide which approaches fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjust plans as progress is made. The focus is on clear goals, short exercises, and realistic steps to try between meetings.
