About Michelle
Michelle Keplar is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) working in Indiana. She has three years of professional experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, and low self-esteem. Michelle focuses on practical steps clients can use right away to feel more motivated and confident.
Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. She aims for honest, open communication and treats people with sensitivity and respect. Sessions are shaped around each person’s strengths and goals rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
Michelle helps people cope with life changes and the emotional fallout from grief, trauma, and workplace strain. She also addresses sleep struggles, anger, parenting strain, and career-related stress. Additional areas of focus include communication problems, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, and money or financial worries.
In sessions she tailors conversation and practical tools to match what each person needs. That might mean short-term strategies to manage overwhelming feelings or longer work on confidence and coping habits. She aims to empower people to make steady, manageable changes.
People who prefer a collaborative, respectful approach may find her style a good fit. Michelle encourages clients to take the lead on goals while she offers guidance, feedback, and concrete techniques to build on strengths.

Practical approaches for online work and coping
Michelle uses evidence-based techniques that focus on clear steps and skills people can use between sessions. One common approach emphasizes building coping skills and mood regulation through simple, repeatable practices that help with anxiety, anger, and stress. Another approach centers on strengths-based work that identifies a person’s existing resources and builds confidence and motivation for change.Finding the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose or adapt techniques based on their goals, comfort level, and daily life. Together they will track what helps and adjust the plan as needed so therapy stays useful and manageable.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills visually, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, quick coping tools, or for people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a workday, care routine, or other commitments.
