About Michelle
Michelle Kisler, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania, has 17 years of experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, ADHD, and related concerns using approaches she lists like Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy.
Michelle frames sessions around what a person brings and works at a steady, practical pace. She focuses on clear skills for managing symptoms, identifying patterns that cause distress, and setting achievable steps for change. She also offers coaching-style support for life transitions and goal setting.
Her background includes long-term practice with people facing mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and caregiver strain. She notes additional focus on autism and Asperger syndrome, hearing impairment, intellectual disability, and traumatic brain injury. That range informs how she adapts communication and strategies.
In session she uses direct techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge unhelpful thinking. She blends client-centered listening with mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused work help with goal clarification and short-term change.
Michelle describes her work as respectful of cultural differences and attentive to life context. She supports people dealing with guilt, shame, forgiveness, isolation, and finding life purpose. Her practice also addresses parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and young adult issues.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Michelle commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT offers concrete skill practice for anxiety, depression, and mood disorder management.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice their thoughts and bodily responses without immediate reaction. Mindfulness can reduce reactivity and support coping with stress and trauma.
Client-Centered Therapy is another core element. That approach emphasizes listening and responding to each person’s perspective while helping them set their own goals.
Choosing the right approach is part of early sessions. The therapist works collaboratively to match techniques to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That process can include trying different techniques and adjusting based on what helps most.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list formats explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow brief check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Discuss practical options during the matching and scheduling steps to find sessions that fit everyday life.
