Michelle Kisler, LPC

Michelle Kisler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 17 years of experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, mood struggles, and life transitions. Michelle aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable so clients can talk through what matters most to them.

She builds sessions around each person’s story and current needs. Michelle uses clear, practical methods to help people manage symptoms, set goals, and try new ways of coping. She pays attention to cultural background and life context when planning each session.

Michelle blends several therapeutic styles to match what a person needs in the moment. She uses client-centered listening to understand priorities, cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and mindfulness practices to reduce stress and improve focus. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques help with goal setting and building small, steady changes.

Her work includes support for ADHD, neurodivergent-affirming care, executive functioning challenges, and recovery from trauma including post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injury concerns. She also helps with caregiver stress, parenting strain, isolation, and issues around guilt, forgiveness, and life purpose.

Michelle works with adults seeking practical strategies and steady emotional support. She combines warmth with clear steps so people can move forward at their own pace.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Michelle frequently uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely to a person’s priorities and reflecting back what matters most. This approach helps people feel understood and guides the pace and goals of therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is another primary method she uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and try concrete behavior changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right method is part of the process. Michelle works together with each person to see which approaches fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That means trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as needed rather than committing to a fixed method up front.

If you are interested in online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule, reduce commuting time, and allow shorter check-ins when life feels hectic. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises and CBT tools from their everyday environment, so new skills transfer to real life. Licensed professionals, including therapists like Michelle, will discuss which format and rhythms suit your routine and goals before scheduling.
