Michele Klahr, LPC

Michele Klahr is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with 25 years of experience. She has spent nearly two decades working inside a large medical hospital assessing patients' mental health needs. Michele focuses on practical help when life feels overwhelming and offers steady support through difficult moments.

She has worked extensively with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, and depression. Much of her hospital work has involved crisis intervention and suicide prevention, so she is comfortable with urgent concerns and high-stress situations. Michele also has a long-standing interest in personality disorders, including borderline personality disorder.

In sessions she aims to help people identify what matters most and take small, manageable steps forward. She uses clear, direct conversation to sort priorities and address immediate problems. Michele pays attention to how day-to-day habits affect mood and coping.

Her approach draws on collaborative, goal-focused methods that encourage practical change. She helps people break down overwhelming issues into workable pieces and build skills for handling them. Michele supports people through life transitions, career challenges, and relationship strain.

People who reach out can expect a straightforward, calm presence and a focus on what can change now. Michele invites those ready to try a new path to take the first step toward clearer direction and better coping.

How Michele's approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what a person most needs in the moment. It helps when someone wants a supportive, nonjudgmental space to talk through decisions and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings are connected and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of working together. Michele collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in about what is helping and adjusts the plan so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, cut travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some formats also work better when video bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Talk with the therapist about timing and the best way to structure sessions to match daily routines and responsibilities.
