About Mikel
Mikel Wallschlaeger is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 13 years of experience helping adults move past pain and find steadier ground. He offers calm, compassionate care and aims to make sessions feel warm, kind, and unjudging. People who meet with him often describe counseling as flexible and understanding.
He emphasizes practical progress toward clearer goals and greater daily peace. He has worked with adults across a wide range of life situations.
Background and approach
Clients have included young adults, middle-aged adults, and older adults from urban, semi-rural, and rural communities. He has long experience supporting people through grief, chronic illness, and major life transitions. Mikel also draws on sensitivity to cultural differences when that matters to a person’s care.
Mikel takes a generalist approach and helps people handle common concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, sleep struggles, and bipolar-related mood shifts. He also supports people facing workplace problems, career changes, caregiver strain, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. When needed, he assists with finding clearer life purpose and coping strategies for panic or post-traumatic stress.
Sessions are focused on practical steps and clear goals. He can help map out plans for change, improve communication skills, and teach anger management strategies. Mikel may reference Christian scripture when a client requests faith-based material, but he will adapt to each person’s beliefs and preferences.
His practice is based in Ohio and he conducts sessions in English. He aims to help people feel cared for and understood while working toward realistic, achievable improvements in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Many of the techniques Mikel uses focus on evidence-based ways to reduce symptoms and build skills. One common approach teaches practical coping strategies for stress, anxiety, and anger, such as breathing, grounding, and step-by-step plans to respond differently in heated moments. These techniques help with daily reactions and recurring triggers.Another approach centers on problem-solving and life planning for career shifts, caregiver strain, or major transitions. This involves mapping options, setting small achievable goals, and rehearsing new behaviors to improve functioning and confidence. These methods are helpful when someone needs a clear roadmap forward.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, day-to-day demands, and what feels most comfortable. Adjustments are made as progress unfolds so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter updates, coaching between sessions, or ongoing reminders to practice skills. Together these formats make it easier to keep therapy going around work, caregiving, and other commitments.
