Kim Keller, LMSW - Therapist in Michigan

About Kim

Kim Keller is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) based in Michigan with 17 years of clinical experience. She focuses on addiction and mental health concerns and brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions. She sees people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, mood shifts, or patterns that feel stuck and hard to change.

Her manner is collaborative and respectful. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on.

Background and approach

In sessions she listens, offers thoughtful challenges to unhelpful thinking, and helps clients try new ways of coping. Many clients say they arrive feeling lost or stuck, unsure how to move forward. Kim helps by breaking problems into manageable steps and offering tools to use between sessions.

Work may include addressing coping with life changes, dealing with grief or burnout, and working through issues related to addictions and mood concerns. She uses practical, evidence-informed methods such as acceptance and commitment techniques, cognitive-behavioral ideas, and motivational strategies. Mindfulness and a client-centered stance guide conversations so people can reconnect with values and small daily actions that matter.

Kim aims to help people notice small changes that add up. Sessions focus on clear goals, skill building, and steady progress. Her approach is straightforward, compassionate, and geared toward real-life improvement.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking small steps toward those values. It helps when worry, avoidance, or mood swings get in the way of living the life someone wants.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stressful thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process includes trying techniques and adjusting them based on what helps.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, keep regular contact between sessions, and use tools in real situations. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT skills to these formats so people can practice new strategies where they live and work.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
