01About Michelle
Michelle Kisler is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people sort through stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes. She aims to meet each person where they are and create a calm space to talk about what matters most. Her style is warm, direct, and focused on practical steps that fit into daily life.
She uses approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and try new responses.
Background and approach
Sessions often include short skill practice, gentle reflection, and focused goal-setting. That mix can help with worry, mood shifts, trauma reactions, or trouble sleeping and concentrating. With 17 years of experience, Michelle has worked with many different concerns such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, bipolar mood concerns, and trauma and abuse.
She also supports issues related to caregiving, isolation, and life purpose. Her work emphasizes listening first, then choosing clear strategies together. Michelle pays attention to cultural background, neurodiversity, and practical barriers people face.
She adapts pacing and tasks to each person’s needs and energy. Progress is often framed as small, steady changes rather than quick fixes. Clients meet with her from Pennsylvania via video, phone, live chat, or messaging.
She offers a mix of short check-ins and longer sessions depending on the situation. To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist’s availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to your needs. The therapist helps you set the pace, reflects what she hears, and works from your priorities to guide sessions. This approach suits people who need a steady, collaborative relationship while they sort things out.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Practical exercises and short homework tasks help change unhelpful patterns. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and mood regulation by teaching specific skills to use between sessions.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. Short breathing or grounding exercises are used in session and recommended for daily practice to ease stress and improve focus.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust what isn’t working. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits the client’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break at work. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing skills practice, and flexible communication between sessions.
