About Michele
Michele Klahr is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years of experience. She practices in Oklahoma and brings a calm, practical approach to people facing stress and anxiety. She has spent nearly two decades working in a large medical hospital setting.
There she assessed mental health needs, helped in crisis situations, and worked on suicide prevention. That background shapes how she responds to urgent worries and sudden life changes. Michele helps people who are coping with grief, depression, addictions, and recurring anger.
Background and approach
She also focuses on self-esteem, career stress, and overwhelming life transitions. ADHD and compassion fatigue are among other areas she supports. Her work includes helping people understand patterns tied to family of origin, communication problems, and codependency.
Michele also takes interest in managing personality concerns such as avoidant or dependent patterns and challenges connected to abandonment. Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented. Michele uses conversational, evidence-based methods to help clients set small, doable steps.
She works with clients to track progress and adjust the plan as needed. People choose her when they want a steady, experienced counselor who listens and offers practical strategies. Michele encourages the first step and stays focused on what will make daily life more manageable.
Approaches and how online therapy helps
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping the client set the direction for sessions. This approach is useful when someone needs a supportive space to talk through emotions like grief or low self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical tools to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by building skills people can use between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Then she adapts methods to match those needs so sessions stay relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation when that matters. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter, flexible check-ins and a way to keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life while using approaches like Client-Centered Therapy and CBT.
