Michael Gee, LPC

Michael Gee is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Michigan with ten years of clinical experience. He focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and depression. He starts by listening and helping clients use their own strengths to move forward.

He approaches therapy as a collaborative process. He uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered work to help people notice patterns, try new responses, and commit to meaningful goals. Motivational Interviewing and EMDR are also part of his toolbox when they fit a person’s needs.

In sessions he emphasizes simple, useful steps rather than jargon. He helps clients talk through feelings of abandonment, codependency, guilt, shame, and loneliness. He also supports those dealing with substance concerns, post-traumatic stress, veteran and armed forces issues, and seasonal mood shifts.

His style aims to make therapy straightforward. Sessions often include goal-setting, practicing different ways to handle stress, and reflecting on what matters to the client. Michael encourages self-compassion and tangible changes people can use between sessions.

Michael works in Michigan and conducts sessions in English. He believes starting therapy takes courage and offers a calm, steady approach to help people move toward clearer choices and better daily functioning.

How his therapeutic approaches fit online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and problems that get in the way of living the life someone wants.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers concrete strategies to test thoughts and change behavior patterns that sustain depression, anxiety, or addictive habits.

Michael emphasizes figuring out the right approach together. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

If you are considering online options, confirm the session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday break, avoid commute time, or choose a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for timing and how to structure sessions to match your life.
