About Michele
Michele Keller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 15 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and anger. Michele also helps people facing life transitions, addictions, sleep problems, parenting challenges, and work-related stress.
She draws on hands-on methods from cognitive and dialectical behavior therapies alongside client-centered and mindfulness approaches. Sessions focus on practical skills - emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication - so people can respond differently when frustration rises. Michele uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to clarify goals and plan small, workable changes.
Before counseling, Michele spent many years in the travel industry and lived in several states. That background informs her ability to talk with people from varied backgrounds and life stages. She has worked in private practice and in intensive outpatient settings, giving her experience with both brief and longer-term work.
Her style is straightforward and skill oriented. People learn breathing and grounding practices, cognitive strategies for unhelpful thoughts, and DBT-based tools for handling high emotions. Sessions often include concrete homework and short skills practice between meetings.
Michele practices as an LPC in Missouri and offers services in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment to discuss goals and next steps.
How sessions work
Online sessions focused on skill building and problem solving
She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks situations into thoughts, feelings, and actions so clients can test assumptions and try alternative responses; it is often useful for anger, anxiety, and low mood.Dialectical Behavior Therapy methods are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These tools are practical steps people can use when they feel overwhelmed or on the verge of snapping. Mindfulness practices are also incorporated to help notice bodily cues and interrupt escalation before it becomes reactive.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Michele will talk with each person about what feels most useful and try small strategies first. Over a few sessions she and the client refine which skills to focus on, how to practice them, and how they fit into daily life.
Session formats should be confirmed before booking. The practical benefits of online work include fitting therapy around work or caregiving, shorter check-ins when time is tight, and options that avoid travel time. Ask about current session options when you schedule so you can pick what best fits your routine.
