About Michelle

Michelle Kisler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 17 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, ADHD, and other challenges.

Background and approach

She emphasizes a compassionate, authentic stance and seeks to meet clients where they are, honoring each person’s background and life story while offering practical strategies and emotional support. Her practice blends whole-person thinking with attention to individual strengths and needs, supporting both immediate coping and longer-term growth.

Michelle draws on evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each client’s goals, including approaches that strengthen coping skills, improve mood regulation, and address trauma-related symptoms. She also provides coaching-oriented support for executive functioning and life transitions, and offers neurodivergent-affirming perspectives for those who identify as autistic or have related differences.

Michelle aims to create a respectful therapeutic relationship that fosters safety, reflection, and gradual change. Across her work she remains attentive to cultural and contextual factors, caregiver stress, hearing impairment and intellectual disability considerations, and issues such as forgiveness, guilt, and finding life purpose.

Clients seeking steady, empathetic collaboration through difficult life events, mood disorders, or attention-related concerns will find a clinician focused on listening carefully, validating experience, and helping craft realistic steps forward.

Approaches and Online Options for Personalized Care



Client-centered therapy centers the client’s perspective, encouraging exploration of values, feelings, and personal strengths while the therapist offers empathic support and validation; this approach helps people build self-awareness and a trusting therapeutic relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering concrete tools for anxiety, depression, mood regulation, and attention-related challenges. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, which can reduce reactivity and support coping with stress, trauma symptoms, and emotional pain.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try different strategies, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful and practical. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to individual needs and preferences rather than imposing a single method.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to access these approaches through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats allow sessions to fit into busy schedules, support continuity during transitions, and make it easier to practice skills between meetings, while still allowing licensed professionals to guide treatment and track progress.
