About Michele
Michele Keller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 15 years of counseling experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, low self-esteem, grief, and major life changes. Michele also supports people facing addiction, ADHD, career challenges, and caring for aging relatives.
Her background includes extensive life and work experience outside of counseling. Before becoming a counselor she spent over 15 years in the travel industry and lived in multiple U.S. states. That time working across the country and in Europe shaped how she listens and responds to different perspectives.
In clinical work she emphasizes plain, practical skills more than jargon. Michele often uses cognitive and dialectical behavior approaches to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and build emotion regulation skills. She also incorporates mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people move toward clear goals.
Sessions focus on learning specific tools such as distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Michele describes her style as solution-focused and practical, helping people develop steps they can try between sessions. She draws on experience in private practice and in intensive outpatient settings.
People commonly come to Michele for help with sleep problems, intimacy concerns, parenting strain, caregiving stress, chronic health challenges, and navigating divorce or blended family issues. Her work also includes exploration of kink and alternative sex culture where that is part of a client’s concerns.
How Michele’s approaches translate to online work
Michele commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, or anger. CBT helps people develop practical strategies for problem solving and for handling triggers in daily life.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills teach concrete techniques to manage intense feelings and to improve communication when frustration or resentment builds.
The right approach is usually decided together. Michele will work collaboratively to match methods to a client’s goals and preferences, checking in and adjusting as progress is made.
