About Jennifer

Dr. Jennifer McGee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of clinical experience and practices from Georgia. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, life transitions, ADHD, autism, relationship and family concerns, grief, and work-related stress.

She describes counseling as a place for education, support, and practical planning. Sessions focus on identifying thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, then changing them with concrete steps. The therapist emphasizes that change takes action and that clients play an active role in choosing new habits and responses.

Her main method centers on Cognitive Behavioral ideas. Early conversations look at unhelpful beliefs and repeated actions. From there she helps clients set clear goals and build a plan to reach them.

She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness practice, narrative work, and solution-focused techniques when they fit a client's goals. These approaches can help with emotion regulation, clearer life stories, and short-term problem solving.

Sessions are described as collaborative. The therapist supports clients as they decide what to change and how to do it. Practical homework and small, measurable steps are often part of the work.

Dr. McGee notes that healing requires action and that therapy can provide a roadmap for change. She encourages people dealing with transitions, caregiver stress, or persistent mood concerns to take concrete steps toward more manageable daily life.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Dr. McGee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map how thoughts influence actions and to create specific behavior changes. CBT often involves identifying unhelpful beliefs, testing them, and practicing new responses that reduce stress or anxiety.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation and coping skills. DBT-style work focuses on practical tools for managing strong feelings and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice is revisited as progress is made and needs change.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when that helps, and remove travel time. These practical features help people keep regular appointments and practice skills between sessions.
