Michelle Kveum

Michelle Kveum is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arkansas with 16 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people cope with anxiety, stress, anger, life changes, and issues related to sexual orientation and identity. Her approach centers on listening carefully and building practical steps clients can use between sessions.

She helps people who struggle with low self-esteem, panic attacks, and relationship or family tensions. Michelle also supports people facing grief, career uncertainty, caregiver burden, and compassion fatigue. Sessions aim to identify patterns that get in the way and try small changes that make daily life easier.

Michelle uses straightforward, collaborative work in the room. She draws from client-centered methods to follow what each person brings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are used to spot thinking and behavior patterns that feed anxiety or anger.

Mindfulness practices are introduced to help calm intense moments and improve focus. Solution-focused and motivational techniques are used when someone wants concrete goals and short-term change. Michelle and the client set priorities together and adjust the plan as needed.

Her work pays attention to culture and the realities of LGBTQ+ experiences. She also addresses eating and food-related struggles, codependency, control issues, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. The emphasis is on practical tools and steady progress that fit a client's life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following a person's priorities. In practice this means the therapist mirrors concerns, asks questions, and helps the client set the agenda for each session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often helpful for anxiety, anger, and panic symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try based on goals and preferences. That might mean combining listening-focused work with CBT exercises or adding mindfulness and solution-focused steps to reach short-term goals.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare, or travel. It also lets clients use tools such as short check-ins, guided exercises, and homework between sessions so therapy can be practical and tied to daily routines.
