About Kilee
Kilee Mikell is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) who helps adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, relationship strain, and trauma. She works with people managing ADHD, grief, addiction, chronic health struggles, and compassion fatigue. Her tone is direct and supportive for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.
In sessions she listens first and asks clear questions to understand what matters most. She focuses on practical steps clients can try between meetings.
Background and approach
She also teaches skills for mood regulation, communication, and managing overwhelming thoughts. Kilee blends approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws from cognitive behavioral methods to identify unhelpful thinking patterns.
She uses client-centered techniques to keep the conversation focused on the person’s goals and experience. She also incorporates elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotional regulation and distress-tolerance skills. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing help people build small, sustainable changes into daily life.
Together these tools aim to improve coping, reduce reactivity, and support clearer decision making. Kilee has eight years of clinical experience and holds an AL LICSW. She provides services from Alabama and conducts sessions in English.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and following the client’s priorities. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to make sense of their feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches simple tools to change patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotional regulation and handling intense moments, which is useful for high stress and strong reactions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick strategies that match their goals and daily life. Sessions begin with a clear plan and adjust as needed so tools feel useful rather than overwhelming.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill coaching, phone sessions can fit into a work break or lower bandwidth, and messaging or chat work well for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These formats aim to make attending therapy easier while keeping the focus on steady progress and practical skills.
