Dr. Jennifer McGee, LPC

Dr. Jennifer McGee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of clinical experience. She practices from Georgia and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Her work often centers on practical steps people can try right away to feel more in control.

Her style is straightforward and action-oriented. She listens for unhelpful thoughts and habits, then helps clients test new ways of thinking and behaving. Sessions aim to create clear, achievable goals and small experiments people can use between meetings.

Dr. McGee often uses cognitive behavioral approaches to map how thoughts and actions keep problems in place. She combines this with mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to help people regulate strong emotions. Narrative and solution-focused techniques are also part of her toolbox when reframing life stories or pressing toward specific goals.

Clients who want direct feedback and a plan may find her approach useful. She emphasizes taking steps that match each person’s life and pace. Dr. McGee also draws on experience helping people facing parenting stress, caregiver strain, chronic health challenges, identity and relationship questions, and work-related pressure.

She works with people on concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, bipolar and mood disorders, self-esteem, career questions, and a broad range of communication and behavioral challenges. Her practice supports people seeking both short-term problem solving and longer-term change.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Dr. McGee commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing new ways of thinking and acting. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and practical skills for managing intense feelings, which can help with impulsivity and relationship strain.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try techniques in session, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to emphasize skill training, thought work, mindfulness, or brief solution-focused steps.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and role play. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option for a focused check-in. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief problem solving, homework support, and ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, manage caregiving schedules, or use shorter check-ins when that suits someone's routine.
