About Kilee

Kilee Mikell, LICSW, focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the strain that comes from caring for others. She works with adults facing relationship and family challenges, navigating grief, healing from trauma, and coping with ADHD and addiction-related concerns. Her approach is warm and nonjudgmental, aimed at making people feel heard and understood.

She uses straightforward conversation to help clients sort out what matters most. Sessions often include practical skills for handling strong emotions, improving communication, and managing daily routines that affect sleep, work, and parenting. Kilee also addresses burnout and compassion fatigue for those in helping professions.

Her clinical work draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. These methods are shaped to fit each person’s needs rather than following a rigid formula. She helps people set goals and try small, doable changes between sessions.

Kilee has eight years of experience and holds an Alabama LICSW, which is listed as LICSW. She practices in Alabama and conducts sessions in English. People who are motivated to make change will find a practical, collaborative style focused on steady progress.

To begin, Kilee asks about current struggles and priorities so a plan can be created together. The focus is on building skills, improving coping, and finding clearer direction during difficult times.

How therapy approaches inform online care

Kilee commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing different behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress when life feels overwhelming.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on each person’s experience and priorities. Together the therapist and client decide which approach or mix of approaches fits best. Figuring out the right method is treated as a collaborative process that can change over time.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, or check in during a work break. Different approaches adapt well to remote sessions - for example, CBT homework and DBT skills practice translate to short, focused online meetings. Ask about current session options when you schedule so you can pick what suits your routine.
