Michele Klahr

Michele Klahr is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years of experience. She works in Oklahoma and spends much of her time assessing mental health needs for medical patients at a large hospital. She has long experience with crisis intervention and suicide prevention, and she helps people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, and depression.

Her work is direct and practical. She helps people name what feels hardest and then maps small, doable steps forward. Michele pays attention to how life events, health problems, and caregiving strain everyday functioning. She also supports people dealing with anger and addictive behaviors as they look for better ways to respond.

Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That means conversations focus on the person's concerns, and they try out different ways of thinking and acting to reduce distress. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy also inform her style by helping people find their own reasons to change and set achievable goals.

Michele has particular experience with personality-related struggles and with the emotional fallout of medical problems. She aims to make sessions a place to sort priorities, practice new skills, and rebuild routines that help day-to-day life feel more manageable.

People who want clear steps, steady support, and a pragmatic plan tend to fit her style. She encourages anyone taking the first step toward change to reach out and complete the brief match process to schedule a first appointment.

How Michele’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgment. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings and teaches simple experiments to reduce anxiety, anger, or depression.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Michele will talk with the client about goals and preferences and together they will try approaches that fit. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize skill-building, motivational work, or solution-focused goal-setting.

In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice new skills between sessions and bring real-life examples to talk about during appointments.
