Kilee Mikell, LICSW

Kilee Mikell is a licensed independent clinical social worker who supports adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She works with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. Kilee aims to make sessions feel like a place to be heard without judgment.

Her approach is direct and practical. She draws on client-centered work to follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness tools help with emotional regulation and coping during hard moments.

Kilee also uses motivational interviewing to help people find the reasons they want change and to build momentum. She supports those dealing with trauma, addiction, grief, sleep problems, parenting stress, and chronic health concerns. First responders and people in helping professions are included among the focus areas she addresses.

She brings eight years of clinical experience in Alabama to sessions. Kilee keeps language straightforward and sessions practical so people can try new ways of coping between meetings. Her aim is to help people make small, durable changes that fit day-to-day life.

If you want a conversational, goal-focused way to work through anxiety, relationship strain, or burnout, she offers a clear plan and collaborative support.

How approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. In online sessions this means the therapist starts from what feels most important to the person and adapts the session to their pace and needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior experiments. Online CBT often uses brief exercises and homework that fit into daily routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication, which can be practiced and reviewed during remote meetings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client's needs, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist work together to pick tools and skills that feel useful and realistic.

Session formats are not listed here, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use skills in the moment between sessions. Licensed professionals adapt materials and homework so progress continues even when life is hectic.
