About Kim
Kim Keller is a licensed master social worker with 17 years of clinical experience. She draws on practical skills and straightforward conversation to help people manage strong emotions, addiction concerns, and life transitions. She works in a collaborative, down-to-earth way.
Kim treats each person as the expert on their life and helps them notice strengths they already have. Sessions mix empathy with clear challenges to unhelpful thinking patterns and guidance toward healthier choices.
Background and approach
Many people come feeling stuck, overwhelmed by stress, or unsure how to change repeating patterns. Kim helps people who are coping with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, anger, or substance use find clearer steps forward. She also supports those managing mood disorders, career shifts, chronic illness, or grief over life changes.
Her clinical tools include acceptance and commitment strategies, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and a client-centered stance. These approaches are used to build coping skills, improve communication, and reduce avoidance or reactive behavior. Kim offers practical goals in therapy such as reducing intense reactions, improving self-esteem, repairing communication, and building routines that support recovery.
Her style is direct but warm, focused on small, sustainable changes that fit into daily life. Sessions are offered from Michigan and conducted in English. People who want straightforward, collaborative support for anger, addiction, stress, or mood concerns may find her approach fits their needs.

Practical approaches for online emotional work
Kim uses acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, and to clarify values that guide meaningful action. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and trying different behaviors to reduce distress. CBT often helps with anxiety, mood disorders, stress, and managing substance use cravings.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kim will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. Treatment plans are adjusted as progress and needs become clearer.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and real-time skill practice. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a hands-free option is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide brief check-ins or ongoing written support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or recovery schedules.
