About Michele
Michele Keller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 15 years of experience. She focuses on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, parenting, addiction, ADHD, and coping with major life changes. Michele also works with people facing chronic pain, illness, aging and caregiver stress. Her style is warm and practical and she aims to make counseling approachable for busy lives.
Before counseling, Michele spent over 15 years in the travel industry and lived in Pennsylvania and Texas. That background shaped her perspective and helped her become more culturally aware. She has worked across settings including private practice and intensive outpatient programs, and supports adults at different life stages.
Michele uses a positive, solution-focused approach. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns in thoughts and behaviors. She also uses dialectical behavior strategies to help with emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are part of her toolbox when they suit a person's goals. Sessions emphasize practical skills that people can try between meetings. Michele aims to help people find clearer ways to handle stress, improve relationships, and reconnect with what matters to them.
Her work is collaborative and down-to-earth. Clients can expect straightforward guidance, concrete coping strategies, and a supportive space to talk through tough issues.
