Kilee Mikell

Kilee Mikell, LICSW, helps people who are coping with anger, stress, anxiety, depression, and difficult life changes. She works with adults facing relationship and family strain, problems with concentration such as ADHD, grief, trauma, addictions, and the day-to-day strain of caregiving or chronic illness. Her approach is straightforward and nonjudgmental. She invites people to say what is hard and to begin making practical changes. Kilee uses a mix of approaches that focus on what feels most useful to each person. She draws on client-centered methods to build a trusting conversation. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot thoughts and habits that keep problems going. Dialectical behavior strategies and mindfulness help people manage intense emotions and reduce reactivity. Her training and experience as an LICSW - Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - shapes how she plans care and supports practical problem solving. She has eight years of experience working with adults who report burnout, compassion fatigue, and work-related stress in helping professions. That background informs her work with people juggling caregiving, career demands, and health concerns. In sessions she focuses on clear goals and small steps people can try between meetings. Kilee emphasizes skills practice, skillful communication strategies, and attention to patterns that fuel anger and conflict. She works with each person to tailor the pace and focus of therapy. If you want a calm, pragmatic space to talk through what’s happening and try new ways to cope, Kilee offers an approach grounded in listening, skills, and realistic plans.

How Kilee’s approaches fit into online therapy

Client-centered therapy centers on the person’s goals and values. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping prioritize changes and steps that feel achievable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to shift them, especially helpful for anxiety, depression, and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills for managing intense feelings and reducing reactive behavior. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kilee will work together with each person to pick strategies that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That may mean blending elements from different methods and adjusting the plan as progress is made. Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - sessions can be scheduled around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. It also allows continuity of care when travel or relocation would otherwise interrupt meetings. Talk with the therapist about practical needs like session length, communication between sessions, and how to practice new skills between meetings so therapy fits into everyday routines.
