About Jennifer
Dr. Jennifer McGee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 12 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and difficult life changes.
Her style is practical and direct, focused on small, clear steps that make daily life feel more manageable. She explains problems in plain language and works alongside clients to set realistic goals. Sessions often include looking at unhelpful thoughts and trying new ways of responding.
Background and approach
Jennifer emphasizes hands-on action - changing small habits and thoughts to create bigger shifts over time. Her main method is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which links thoughts and actions so clients can change both. She also draws on mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to build coping skills and short-term plans.
Narrative ideas are used when it helps to reframe a person’s story. Throughout therapy she offers education, support, and a clear plan for moving forward. That plan may include skills for managing stress, strategies for parenting struggles, and steps to reduce anxiety or low mood.
Jennifer aims to help people make choices that lead to more joy and growth. She practices in Georgia and conducts sessions in English. People who prefer straightforward, action-oriented help will likely do well with her approach.
How evidence-based approaches work online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at the link between thoughts and actions. Online CBT sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying small behavioral experiments to change daily routines and mood. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. In online DBT-influenced work, clients learn grounding, emotion regulation, and distress-tolerance techniques they can practice between sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy encourages paying steady attention to the present moment without judgment. Practicing simple mindfulness skills online can reduce reactivity and help people cope with stress and overwhelm.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and preferences, then try methods that fit the situation. Plans are adjusted as progress is made so the work stays practical and focused on real-life change.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. That variety helps parents and busy adults fit therapy into a packed schedule and continue work between appointments. Remote formats also make it easier to use worksheets, practice skills at home, and follow a clear plan without long commutes.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
