Welcome and thank you for considering my services.
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor currently practicing in the state of Missouri for over 10 years. Counseling is my 2nd career and my true calling. Before I decided to follow this path, I spent over 15 years in the travel industry, living in Pennsylvania and Texas, and traveling across the US and Europe. I mention this because I believe it's helped me to become more culturally aware and open-minded in both my personal life and career.
I have experience working with adults of all ages and across many settings, including private practice and intensive outpatient programs. Some of the most common issues I help my clients work through are depression, anxiety, work related stress, relationship problems, low self esteem, grief, divorce, chronic health issues, and dealing with major life changes. Previous clients have described me as compassionate, caring, practical, jovial, helpful, and encouraging and I continue to be inspired by their courage and dedication.
I consider my approach to be positive, holistic, and solution focused and I specialize in cognitive and dialectical behavior therapy. I believe mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness are keys to a life worth living.
It would be an honor to accompany you on this journey.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Michele Keller. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I love her. She keeps me sane. I respect her opinion a lot and that shes willing to work to help me where I need it.

Michelle is great! I felt a connection with her before we even had our first video conference and we were just messaging back and forth. She is very knowledgeable and is super supportive of my struggles. She has been a great resource for me and a wonderful person to talk to and give feedback. I would recommend her to everyone.
