As a licensed therapist, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My approach is deeply compassionate and tailored to each client's unique journey. I have extensive experience helping people navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, trauma recovery, and personal growth. My therapeutic practice centers on creating a safe, affirming space where clients can explore their deepest struggles and strengths. I'm particularly passionate about supporting individuals working through self-esteem challenges, communication barriers, life transitions, and healing from past wounds. My work emphasizes empowerment, self-understanding, and developing resilient coping strategies. I draw from evidence-based practices to help clients build meaningful connections with themselves and others. Whether you're dealing with workplace stress, relationship complexities, or personal transformation, I'm committed to walking alongside you with genuine empathy and professional expertise. My goal is to support you in discovering your inherent capacity for healing and growth.

The issues I work with in therapy are mind-body issues. I do not have a mental illness approach. What is good for the body is good for the brain and vice versa. My openness and inclusivity influence my approach to therapy. I do not judge. I accept. I am more interested in your uniqueness than your diagnosis and I expect a full recovery in treatment. I fit well with expectations from a person who is here on their own volition, is willing and open to change, and is trying to develop resiliency in life, problem-solving without drama in relationships, and self-respect. I try my best to provide a secure space and collaborate. I take notes and I read them at the end of the session. As opposed to homework, I offer experiments to try between conversations. Depending on preference, I can be direct in helping people identify their goals by collaborating on a treatment plan. I can also be non-direct and identify our goals through the flow of the conversation. A first session with me begins with a casual greeting and formalities regarding confidentiality, rights, and risk assessment questions, followed by a lead-in question to get the ball rolling.

I am Leeann Mickel, I have a masters degree in educational psychology with an emphasis on community counseling. I have my LPC, licensed professional counselor Masters level. I also have an LC DC licensed chemical dependency counselor. I have worked 20 + years in the field of service. I have had great success with clients who have experienced significant trauma. I have been Clinical Supervisor for a substance abuse residential setting. I am currently Clinical Director for the agency with whom I am employed at this time. I believe it to be my mission helping and serving. My approach is client centered we start where you are. I am very laid-back and personable, I have forever been told how easy it is to talk to me, even prior to my chosen career! That’s a plus when you’re a therapist! I have some clients who simply need an ear and guidance. Others are eager to get to the cause of what prompted them to reach out. Either is great. I understand that some people need to vent and receive professional advice. I tell all of my clients you have inside you now everything you need to heal and progress. My job is to guide you on the journey in this process of self discovery and healing. I also tell my clients that I will work just as hard as you in doing this, but I will never work harder. This would cause more harm by handicapping them if others around never allow my clients to learn through experience, and rob my client of demonstrating to themselves the opportunity to see how capable they actually are. I have worked with many populations: adolescents, adults with variety of disorders/conditions. Such as mental health diagnosis like depression, bi polar, anxiety, and PTSD. For the last six years I have led our adolescent program. I'm very familiar with self harming behaviors, and have a knack of being able to reach them and slowly process into self love. I also have extensive experience with grief which may look different and feel different among different clients. Even those who believe that have mourned and grieved, but truly have not. I look forward to working with you and helping you along your specific path. My schedule is very flexible, as a I only work from home, virtually/remote. During therapy it will be common to give 'experiments' following a session. The purpose for this is taking from our sessions and applying what you learn to your 'real life' outside of one session weekly for an hour.

Hi, I’m glad you’re here. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience supporting adults in primary care, community mental health, and university settings. Over the years, I’ve worked alongside people navigating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship concerns, chronic illness, trauma, and those moments when life simply feels like a lot. My approach to therapy is warm, holistic, and very human. I don’t believe therapy needs to feel stiff or clinical to be effective. We can be real, we can laugh when it fits, and we can slow down to sit with the hard things when they show up. I practice from a trauma‑informed perspective and draw from Narrative Therapy, Solution‑Focused approaches, and Person‑Centered work to help you better understand your story and move toward meaningful, sustainable change. I view therapy as a collaborative process—one that honors your pace, your values, and your lived experience. Together, we’ll focus on what’s within your control, identify patterns that may no longer be serving you, and strengthen the tools and insights that support the life you want to build. Starting therapy takes courage, especially when you’re unsure of what to expect or where to begin. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply seeking a space to be heard and supported, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I’d be honored to walk with you for part of your journey and offer support along the way.
