About Michele
Michele Klahr is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 25 years of clinical experience. She currently provides mental health care in a large medical hospital, where she has worked for 19 years assessing patients and responding to crisis situations. Michele focuses on practical steps that help people move forward from hard moments.
Her work includes helping with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, and depression. She also supports people working through addiction, anger, bipolar concerns, and the fallout from trauma and abuse.
How Michele works
Michele pays attention to family-of-origin issues and common patterns like codependency and communication problems. Michele uses straightforward methods that encourage problem solving and clearer thinking. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build a trusting conversation and uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behavior.
Motivational Interviewing helps when people want to change habits, and Solution-Focused Therapy keeps sessions goal-oriented. Her years in a medical setting mean she often handles urgent mental health needs and supports people in crisis. That background gives her experience with suicide prevention and brief interventions when situations are intense.
Michele blends that clinical experience with a calm, direct style. Parents and caregivers will find practical suggestions for coping, managing stress, and handling caregiver burnout. Michele aims to help clients set realistic goals, try small changes between sessions, and build skills that fit daily life.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Michele uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where the conversation follows each person’s needs. This approach is about listening carefully and helping people find their own direction when they face stress, grief, or relationship challenges.She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing mood swings by practicing concrete skills between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michele will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and everyday demands. She adjusts techniques as progress is made and priorities change.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow for quicker updates, ongoing support between sessions, and flexibility for busy schedules.
