Michele Klahr, LPC

Michele Klahr is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 25 years of clinical experience. She works in a large medical hospital and has spent nearly two decades assessing the mental health needs of medical patients. Michele offers steady, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and other common struggles.

In hospital practice she assesses needs, provides crisis intervention, and participates in suicide prevention efforts. That work has shaped a calm, direct approach to helping people stabilize during hard moments. Michele also supports people dealing with personality issues, including a focused interest in Borderline Personality Disorder.

Her style centers on listening first and tailoring steps that fit each person’s life. She uses straightforward methods to help clients manage distress and build coping skills. Sessions focus on what feels doable now while keeping longer-term goals in view.

Michele draws on a mix of client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. Those tools are used to address problems like anxiety, addictions, family difficulties, career stress, and coping with life changes.

She aims to help people move toward more stable, manageable days. Michele encourages small, practical changes and supports clients as they try new ways of responding to old problems.

How Michele’s approaches translate to online work

Michele uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, listening-based space where the person’s goals guide the work. This approach focuses on understanding concerns and building a trusting working relationship before moving to specific techniques.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT provides practical steps to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and can be useful when motivation feels mixed.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michele will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and choose or combine methods that fit their goals. She aims to adjust pacing and techniques so the work feels manageable and relevant.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins can be scheduled during a lunch break, or audio calls can be used when lower bandwidth is needed. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to help with stress, anxiety, grief, and coping with life changes while keeping sessions focused on practical steps.
