About

Mikel Wallschlaeger, LPCC, brings a steady, compassionate approach to adult counseling rooted in thirteen years of practice. He emphasizes helping people move from distress toward greater peace, contentment, and wellness. Much of his work has focused on adults across the lifespan, including young adults, middle aged adults, and older adults, in metropolitan, semi-rural, and rural settings.

Mikel has supported a wide range of life situations, including grief, chronic illness, end of life planning, caregiver stress, and workforce transitions. He has worked with ethnically diverse populations and has considerable experience counseling African American adults. Mikel works with men and women across socioeconomic backgrounds, including blue collar workers, people experiencing homelessness, professionals, and those residing in hospice.

As a generalist clinician, he addresses mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms, anxiety and panic, relationship and communication problems, anger management, and issues with sleep and self-esteem. He also offers coaching-oriented work for career planning and life transitions. For those who seek spiritual material, he may reference Christian scripture when it fits a person’s goals and values, with sensitivity to individual preference.

Remote options with DBT and CBT

Mikel offers online sessions that draw on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, explained in straightforward terms. DBT is described as teaching concrete skills to manage intense emotions, reduce interpersonal conflict, and increase tolerance for difficult situations. CBT is presented as a practical method for identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and habitual reactions to reduce distress and support behavior change.

He frames these approaches as collaborative, working together to select skills and exercises that match a person’s goals and daily life. Sessions can include skill practice, thought records, and planning for real-world situations so that therapy feels applicable outside the meeting time. For people interested in career decision making or coping with life changes, therapeutic work is described as blending clinical tools with coaching elements.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow people to choose the communication style that fits their routine while pursuing the specific approaches Mikel practices.
