About Jennifer

Dr. Jennifer McGee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of experience. She practices from Georgia and works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and related concerns. She also helps with ADHD, autism, parenting challenges, caregiving strain, and issues that come with aging and geriatric concerns.

She approaches therapy with clear, practical steps. Sessions focus on what someone is thinking and what they do next. That means looking at beliefs that get in the way and trying out new behaviors to change outcomes. The conversation is collaborative and aimed at usable plans rather than abstract ideas.

Her main method is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which pairs thought work with actionable tasks. She also draws on mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to help people manage stress and build coping skills. Narrative approaches can be used to reframe difficult experiences and reduce their hold on daily life.

Dr. McGee describes counseling as a place for education, support, and planning. She encourages clients to take bold, deliberate steps toward change while she offers guidance and structure. The goal is to find small, steady moves that lead to more joy and less overwhelm.

People considering therapy with her can expect straightforward language and a focus on real-world change. She aims to help clients identify clear goals and practical steps they can use between sessions to make progress.

Approaches that guide online work and progress

Dr. McGee commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness-based ideas to help people make practical changes. CBT looks at thoughts that keep someone stuck and pairs that work with small behavior changes to test new ways of coping. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and calm overwhelming moments.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, daily challenges, and what feels doable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow use of brief homework or between-session practices. The focus remains the same whether meeting remotely or in person: set clear goals, try practical steps, and track what helps.
