I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LCPC) in Idaho, as well as Nationally Certified Counselor, and I also hold the Graduate Certificate in Addiction Studies. I have been a counselor for 12 years in different settings, such as community agencies of different kind, as well as my own practice. Prior to becoming a counselor, I was an adult educator and worked for colleges and business schools. As an educator, I was passionate about motivating each student to find an individual “life’s path” and to use education as a tool. As a counselor, I am passionate about my clients learning about themselves through the discovery of individual strengths and unique abilities to take on the life’s journey. In each session, I strive to encourage my clients to find something about themselves they haven’t noticed before. Depending on my clients’ needs, I use many techniques, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused and many others, but educate on these techniques in the process to help my clients “become their own counselors” and build their own “arsenal” of tools. My counseling style is fluid – I meet my clients “where they are”; at the same time, I have been told by my clients that each session with me gave them different perspective and empowered them to approach life’s problems with unexpected solutions! I am looking forward to meeting and getting to know you!

I am a professional counselor, licensed in Oregon, with over 15 years of experience. I have worked as both a residential substance abuse treatment counselor and as a outpatient mental health counselor with an employee and family assistance program. I have worked with clients with a broad range of issues including substance abuse, depression, anxiety, relationship concerns and sexuality. I have also worked with first responders who have experienced trauma. My counseling style is warm and supportive, with a little bit of humor thrown into the mix. All clients will be treated with respect and compassion, regardless of where they are on their life's journey. I strongly believe that the client is the only expert of his/her/their life and it is my job to help each one reach their full potential. We enter counseling to change something in our lives; whatever we are currently doing isn't working. But we must change how we think in order for our new behaviors to have lasting change. To this end, my approach combines cognitive-behavioral, rational-emotive, and client-centered counseling. Just as each client is unique, each treatment plan must be as well. We will work together to create a plan that meets your specific needs. I look forward to our first session!

31 years of experience

I am currently licensed in Iowa and Nebraska with over 26 years of professional work experience. The bulk of my career has been in community-based settings as I felt this type of setting was where I could give back to those that have helped me and my family of origin. I had a mother that was bi-polar and had a significant borderline personality disorder. Her first major hospitalization occurred following my birth. I have grown up in the Midwest but have lived in California and South Carolina as well as serving in the US military with one deployment to Afghanistan in which I served as the highest-ranking enlisted member of the Human Intelligence component of a Brigade Combat Team. I have a grown gay son and feel that my own healing process in coming to terms with my feelings toward my mentally ill mother were greatly facilitated by friendships in the queer community and feel a great depth of gratitude and respect for this community. I have been divorced, struggled with my own addiction, co-dependency and mental health issues throughout my lifetime and have carried various mental health diagnoses at different times in my life as well. I don't look at myself as complete expert on life but to quote Brene' Brown: "I might just be a little further down the road in recovery is all". I view therapy as more of an art form in that there are skills and techniques that can be learned and applied to the work of art that is being created, but it is the process involved that brings out the beauty of the final product. I understand the importance of being heard and feel that a person’s truth can emerge through a collective experience in the interaction and engagement with another human being. I hope to bring my experience in life and working with others to your life experience. I view it as a privilege to be able to be a part of the understanding of another person’s life and hope to be part of this journey with you.

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.

I work with adults, teens, individuals, and couples who want practical tools for creating lasting change. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, sleep difficulties, relationship stress, autism, chronic pain, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to help you improve emotional balance, attention, communication, and overall quality of life. My approach is collaborative, educational, and practical. Together we'll explore what's happening now, understand the patterns that may be contributing to it, and develop skills you can continue using long after therapy ends. I enjoy helping people discover not only insight, but also concrete strategies they can apply in everyday life. For individuals, I often integrate mindfulness, neuroscience, and optional brain-based tools, including biofeedback, to help strengthen attention, emotional regulation, and resilience. These approaches can complement counseling by giving you opportunities to practice self-regulation both during and between sessions. Many clients report improvements in stress, attention, or sleep as they consistently practice these skills, and the benefits often build over time as the techniques become more natural. For couples, our work usually begins with improving communication and the overall quality of the relationship. I frequently draw from the Gottman Method, an evidence-based approach that focuses on strengthening friendship, trust, emotional connection, conflict management, and reducing destructive interaction patterns such as contempt. My goal is to help couples better understand one another, communicate more effectively, and build a healthier relationship together. Before becoming a counselor, I completed my undergraduate studies in Communication, which gave me an early appreciation for how people connect, misunderstand one another, and build healthy relationships. During graduate school and afterward, I received training and supervision in couples therapy from a former President of the Minnesota Board of Marriage and Family Therapy, as well as another member of the Board. My primary supervisor was also a founding board member of the Center for Sexual Health and Healing at the University of Minnesota. Over time, he trusted me with referrals, allowing me to continue developing my work with couples while also maintaining a long-standing practice with individual clients. I have more than 16 years of clinical experience and have taught attention and self-regulation skills through organizations including the University of Minnesota Medical Center, the Minnesota Council for the Gifted and Talented, and the Learning Disabilities Association of Minnesota. I also developed a biofeedback training program that was used within a large Minnesota health system. I frequently work with people experiencing: * ADHD and attention challenges * Anxiety and panic * Depression * Trauma and chronic stress * Autism spectrum conditions * Sleep difficulties * Chronic health and pain conditions * Relationship and communication concerns * Veterans and people working in high-stress professions I also enjoy working with professionals, entrepreneurs, students, healthcare providers, and creative individuals who feel capable but struggle with inconsistent focus, stress, or anxiety. Together we can identify the patterns that are getting in the way and build practical strategies that fit your daily life. My counseling style is practical, supportive, and collaborative. Depending on your goals, sessions may focus on open conversation, structured exercises, mindfulness, CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), somatic approaches, or neuroscience-informed strategies. When appropriate, I may also recommend educational resources or optional assessments to help us better understand your attention, stress, communication, or personality patterns. Many clients appreciate having both meaningful conversations and practical tools they can use between sessions. My goal is not simply to help you feel better while we're talking, but to help you build skills that improve your daily life, strengthen your relationships, and continue serving you long after therapy has ended. If that sounds like the kind of approach you're looking for, I'd be happy to work with you.
