About Michelle
Michelle Keplar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Indiana with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, low self-esteem, and life changes. Her practice also addresses relationship and family strain, grief, sleep problems, anger, career stress, and workplace issues.
Michelle focuses on clear, direct conversation and practical steps. She prioritizes open communication and respects each person’s situation. Sessions emphasize strengths and build motivation and confidence through steady, actionable work.
She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and issues related to identity and LGBT concerns. Financial strain, seasonal mood shifts, veterans’ and armed forces issues, and impulse or control problems are part of her caseload. Michelle helps clients sort priorities and find manageable changes that fit daily life.
In a session she listens without judgment and then outlines options the person can try between meetings. That often includes straightforward skills for coping with anxiety, ways to address sleep or routine problems, and steps to reduce impulsive reactions. Progress is framed around small, measurable goals.
Michelle’s style is practical and direct. She asks questions, tracks what is working, and adjusts the plan as needed. For people who want a pragmatic social worker to help with everyday pressures, she offers hands-on support and follow-through.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Michelle lists evidence-based therapeutic techniques as the basis for her work. One common approach focuses on practical skills for managing anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding, and routine changes that reduce daily distress. These skills help when worries or tension interfere with work, sleep, or relationships.Another approach emphasizes behavior-focused steps to address addictive patterns and impulsivity. This involves identifying triggers, planning specific alternatives, and tracking small changes over time to reduce harmful habits and increase healthier routines.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, discuss what has helped in the past, and try methods that match a person’s needs and preferences. Adjustments are made based on what the client reports is working.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, or other daily responsibilities. They can also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and for choices about whether to be on camera or use audio only depending on comfort and bandwidth.
