About Michelle
Michelle Kveum is a licensed professional counselor with 16 years of experience based in Arkansas. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. Michelle also supports clients concerned about anger, self-esteem, career decisions, and LGBTQ issues.
She focuses on practical steps people can use each day. She prefers a straightforward, respectful way of working. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs.
Michelle listens first, then helps identify small, achievable changes.
Background and approach
She combines everyday strategies with skills practice to make progress feel doable. Her background includes long-term clinical work supporting people through grief, caregiver strain, and compassion fatigue. She often helps with relationship and communication problems and offers coaching-style support for career and life-purpose questions.
Attention to multicultural concerns is part of her approach. Michelle uses methods that help people change unhelpful thinking, build new habits, and stay present when emotions are intense. That can mean learning thought-challenging techniques, brief goal-focused strategies, or mindfulness exercises.
She explains techniques in plain language so people can try them between sessions. People choose her when they want practical tools and a steady, nonjudgmental guide. She works with issues like panic attacks, impulsivity, codependency, and eating or food-related concerns.
Sessions are intended to help people regain control, reduce overwhelm, and move forward with clearer choices.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, offers empathy, and helps people decide what matters most to them; this is useful for stress, relationship issues, and identity concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches concrete techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and build different habits, which can help with anxiety, panic, anger, and depression.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and increase calm. These practices support people who want to manage strong emotions or regain focus during stressful moments.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, then suggest options and adjust as needed. That way the plan fits the person's life and aims.
Online sessions offer flexibility and different ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face work and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to share thoughts between meetings and get brief coaching or support when challenges arise.
