About Jennifer

Dr. Jennifer McGee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 12 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, depression, anxiety, life changes, parenting concerns, ADHD, and autism. Her work focuses on clear goals, practical steps, and support as people move toward healthier routines and better daily functioning.

Her counseling style centers on straightforward conversation and measurable action. She often reviews the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Together with each person she builds a short-term plan that targets what they want to change and how to get there.

Jennifer emphasizes education and skill building alongside emotional support. She encourages people to notice unhelpful thinking, try small behavioral shifts, and track progress between sessions. When needed she brings in calming practices drawn from mindfulness to ease distress and improve focus.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral approaches to link thoughts and actions, and draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies for emotion regulation. Narrative and solution-focused ideas help reframe difficult stories and set practical steps toward goals.

Jennifer describes counseling as a place to sort through fears, patterns, and choices. She helps people translate insight into concrete moves that make daily life feel more manageable and meaningful.

How these approaches translate to online work

Dr. McGee commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the thoughts that influence actions and teaches small, practical changes to thinking and behavior that can reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and building better day-to-day routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into a busy life - they can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins between appointments, and make it easier to schedule around work or caregiving. Online work also lets the therapist assign short practice tasks and follow up on progress between meetings.
