About Michele

Michele Klahr is an Oklahoma-licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience in clinical settings. She has spent nearly two decades working in a large medical hospital where she assesses patients' mental health needs, participates in crisis intervention, and engages in suicide prevention work.

Background and approach

Her background includes supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief and loss, and depression, and she has developed focused experience with personality disorder management including work related to borderline personality disorder. Her style blends practical problem-solving with empathic listening, helping clients identify achievable steps toward feeling more capable and balanced.

Michele uses evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and solution-focused practices to tailor care to each person’s situation. She aims to meet clients where they are, offering steady guidance while collaborating on goals and coping strategies.

Michele works with a broad range of concerns including addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, career challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and family-related difficulties. She emphasizes the courage involved in seeking change and supports clients through transitions and the day-to-day work of building a more fulfilling life.

Approaches that guide online care



Michele commonly combines cognitive behavioral approaches and client-centered methods to structure online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, giving clients space to explore their experience while the therapist supports their own problem-solving and growth.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michele works with each person to clarify goals, preferences, and the challenges they want to address, then adapts methods to fit those needs. Over time she and the client review what is working and adjust techniques so the therapy remains responsive and focused on meaningful progress.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from wherever a client is located within the provider’s service area. Licensed professionals can tailor session format and pacing to what best supports each person’s goals.
