Michelle Kveum, LPC

Michelle Kveum is an Arkansas licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 16 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and supports those facing life changes and relationship strain. Michelle centers sessions on listening closely and building simple, useful steps clients can try between visits.

She uses a mix of familiar, evidence-informed methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different choices. That can mean learning practical skills to reduce panic, working on clearer communication, or finding ways to rebuild confidence after a loss. Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on concrete goals.

Michelle pays attention to how identity and culture shape a person’s experience. She aims to make space for LGBTQ+ concerns, caregiver stress, career strain, and other issues that add to anxiety. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, with an emphasis on what helps in everyday life.

People who come to her often want hands-on coping tools, clearer thinking about decisions, and relief from relentless worry. She also supports those dealing with grief, anger, or burnout who need to regain energy and purpose. Michelle combines empathy with practical coaching to help people take the next step.

Her practice includes work on self-esteem, communication problems, and control issues, as well as attention to panic attacks, ADHD-related struggles, and mood challenges. Michelle encourages people to set short-term goals and track small changes that add up over time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Michelle commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people reduce worry and manage stress. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety going and teaches practical tools to change them. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on paying attention to the present moment and learning simple practices to calm the body and mind.

She also uses a Client-Centered approach that prioritizes the person’s own goals and choices during therapy. That means decisions about pacing, focus, and techniques are made together so the work fits the client’s needs and preferences.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michelle will collaborate with clients to test methods and adjust based on what helps most. Early sessions often involve setting small goals and trying a few strategies to see what feels useful.

Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so people can use counseling without rearranging as much of their schedule. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and mindfulness exercises for remote sessions to keep the focus on clear skills and steady progress.
