About Kilee

Kilee Mikell is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) in Alabama with eight years of experience supporting adults through a wide range of concerns. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, and challenges tied to relationships and family dynamics.

Background and approach

Her practice also addresses stress from work or caregiving, compassion fatigue, ADHD, sleep difficulties, and issues around intimacy, self-esteem, and life transitions. Kilee emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental stance that centers the client’s experience and strengths.

Her approach blends evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness strategies, client-centered techniques, and motivational interviewing to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. Kilee aims to help clients build practical skills for coping, improve communication, and move toward the goals that matter most to them.

She invites motivated adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward to reach out and explore therapy together.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Online sessions with Kilee often draw on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help clients build concrete skills. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress, while DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for intense emotions and relationship challenges.

She also uses client-centered principles to create a supportive atmosphere where clients’ priorities shape the work. Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative; the therapist and client discuss goals, preferences, and responses to interventions and adjust methods as progress unfolds.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into work or family routines, and access therapeutic support from home or work environments.
