About Michele
Michele Klahr is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience in mental health care. She practices in Oklahoma and has spent many years working in a large medical hospital setting, assessing patients and responding to crises. Michele focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, anger, and related concerns.
Her background includes nearly two decades at a hospital, where she has supported medical patients through acute emotional needs and suicide prevention.
Background and approach
That work shaped her calm, direct style when urgent problems arise. Michele also works with people facing long-term struggles like bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. In sessions she aims for clear, practical steps that fit each person's life.
She uses client-centered methods, which means she listens first and tailors the plan around the person's goals. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking patterns and on solution-focused ideas to set short-term achievable goals. Michele reports additional interests in family-of-origin issues, codependency, communication problems, and the emotional pressures of caregiving.
She can help people sort through control issues, abandonment worries, eating and body image concerns, and recovery from trauma or abuse. She encourages people to take the first step and says therapy is a collaborative process. Michele aims to create straightforward sessions that focus on what matters most to each person and on practical ways to move forward.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy begins with the person's goals and perspective. The therapist listens closely and helps shape sessions around what the client wants to achieve, which can make online conversations feel focused and relevant.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It works well over video or phone because homework, structured techniques, and brief skill-building exercises can be assigned between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend whether to emphasize client-centered methods, CBT, or solution-focused steps. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when helpful. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing encouragement, and quick skill reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between appointments.
