About Jennifer

Dr. Jennifer McGee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of clinical experience based in Georgia. She emphasizes straightforward steps to help people move past stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Her style is practical and action-oriented, aimed at helping clients identify what to change and how to begin.

She frames counseling as a place to learn, get support, and build a clear plan. Dr. McGee helps people name unhelpful thoughts and notice behaviors that keep problems going. Together they set simple, achievable goals and work toward them one step at a time.

Her primary method focuses on the links between thinking and behavior. That means talking about beliefs that cause distress, and then trying new actions to shift results. She also draws on mindfulness and narrative ideas to help people make sense of their story and find calmer ways to respond.

Dr. McGee has worked with a wide range of concerns including parenting challenges, ADHD, autism, trauma, grief, caregiver stress, midlife transitions, and mood disorders. She combines direct problem-solving with compassion for how difficult change can feel.

Sessions are presented as collaborative work. She supports clients in making concrete changes and tracking progress. People who want a clear plan and practical tools often find this approach useful.

How her approaches shape online care

Dr. McGee often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts that fuel distress and practice different behaviors to change outcomes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotion regulation and stress tolerance are priorities, offering concrete tools for handling intense feelings and reducing impulsive reactions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve, then try methods that fit those aims. Therapists often adapt techniques over time as progress and needs evolve.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking since formats are not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or let someone keep working through issues without rearranging their whole schedule. Licensed professionals can also use online sessions to practice behavioral experiments and homework between meetings, which helps keep momentum toward practical goals.
