Michelle Kveum, LPC

Michelle Kveum is a licensed professional counselor with 16 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, life changes, and identity-related concerns. She practices in Arkansas and uses practical methods to help clients find clearer footing during hard times.

She focuses on everyday problems like low self-esteem, panic attacks, grief, caregiving strain, and career stress. Michelle also helps people who are navigating parenting pressures, relationship friction, and questions about life purpose. Her work pays attention to multicultural concerns and LGBTQ experiences.

In sessions she uses straightforward techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered work, and mindfulness. Conversations aim to clarify what matters most, spot unhelpful thinking, and practice new skills. Expect short exercises, reflection, and concrete steps you can try between meetings.

Michelle emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental approach. She listens first, then helps set clear goals together. The focus is on small, manageable changes that add up over time.

Her background includes long-term practice in Arkansas and experience addressing both sudden crises and ongoing stress. Michelle blends coaching-style support with therapeutic tools to help clients build coping skills and regain confidence.

People who prefer direct, practical guidance in a calm setting may find her style a good fit. Sessions are offered in English and are available via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs. It helps people feel heard, clarify values, and shape goals at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior, and it uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. These methods are often used together to teach skills for managing anxiety, depression, panic, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That may mean trying a skill-based CBT exercise one week and a mindfulness practice the next, adjusting based on progress and preference.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper interaction. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick coaching, and tracking progress between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
