Michelle Kveum is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arkansas with 16 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with anxiety, stress, life changes, and issues related to identity and self-worth. Her approach is warm and practical, aimed at finding usable steps people can take between sessions.

Michelle listens first and then helps clients choose tools that fit their life. She often uses problem-solving and thought-focused techniques alongside mindfulness to reduce overwhelming feelings. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, so people leave with clear ideas to try at home.

Her work includes support around grief, parenting strain, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. She also helps people facing ADHD symptoms, panic attacks, and persistent low mood. Michelle attends to cultural and identity factors, including LGBT concerns, as part of understanding each person’s situation.

People who prefer a collaborative, down-to-earth therapist tend to do well with her style. Michelle mixes short-term coaching moves with deeper therapeutic work depending on what a person needs. Progress is tracked through practical changes and improved coping in daily life.

She offers several ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Work with Michelle begins with a brief questionnaire and scheduling, so sessions can fit into busy routines.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-centered work focuses on the person’s experience and preferences. It involves active listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can guide their own goals. This approach helps with issues like low self-esteem, identity concerns, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and panic symptoms and improve mood.

Mindfulness therapy trains attention to the present moment through brief exercises and breathing practices. It is useful for stress, rumination, and emotional reactivity by helping people notice feelings without being swept away.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past to recommend techniques. Plans change as work proceeds, and sessions can shift between practical coaching and deeper exploration depending on what the person needs.

Online sessions offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls allow face-to-face collaboration, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging can track progress between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives.
