Mikel Wallschlaeger, LPCC

Mikel Wallschlaeger is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) in Ohio with 13 years of experience supporting adults through a wide range of emotional, relational, and life-stage challenges. He approaches therapy with a steady focus on helping people work toward relief and meaningful progress, and he brings a personal understanding of the value of counseling from his own earlier experience as a client, which shaped his commitment to helping others pursue greater peace and well-being.

Over the years, he has worked with young adults, middle-aged adults, and older adults from metropolitan, semi-rural, and rural communities. His background includes serving people across the socioeconomic spectrum, including blue-collar workers, professionals, and individuals experiencing homelessness, as well as those living with chronic illness, navigating grief, or receiving hospice-related support. He also has considerable experience counseling African Americans and aims to provide culturally sensitive care to people from diverse backgrounds.

As a generalist clinician, Mikel works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, mood swings, anger, compulsive behaviors, sleep-related difficulties, grief, relationship and family conflict, isolation and loneliness, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. He also supports clients who are mapping out next steps during major transitions, including career change, returning to the workforce, and making thoughtful decisions about work and purpose.

In sessions, he collaborates with clients to clarify goals and determine an approach that fits their needs. For those who want faith-informed support, he may reference Christian scripture or related materials to explore hope, meaning, and connection, while remaining respectful and attentive to clients who prefer a different style of care.
