About Jennifer
Dr. Jennifer McGee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of experience and practices in Georgia. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, parenting challenges, ADHD, autism, and related concerns. Her background also includes work around grief, relationship struggles, career questions, mood disorders, and guilt and shame.
She explains things in straightforward terms and focuses on developing a plan. In early sessions she listens for the thoughts and habits that keep someone stuck. Then she helps name practical steps a person can try between meetings. Sessions aim to turn insight into action rather than stopping at ideas alone.
Her main approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT. That means looking at unhelpful thoughts and the behaviors that follow, and then testing new ways of thinking and acting. She also uses elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness to help with emotion regulation and staying present.
People who want concrete tools and a clear plan tend to find her style useful. She frames therapy as education plus practice, with an emphasis on small, doable changes. That can include building coping skills for compassion fatigue, addressing control issues, or talking through guilt and shame related to family, faith, or relationships.
Dr. McGee asks clients to be ready to try new behaviors between sessions. She explains options, tracks progress, and adjusts plans as needed. The aim is steady, practical work toward clearer thinking and more manageable daily choices.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Her primary method is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which means identifying unhelpful thoughts and the actions that follow, then testing simpler ways of thinking and behaving to change outcomes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, guilt, and everyday stress.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to help with strong emotions and coping, and Mindfulness Therapy to practice present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. DBT skills can help with emotion regulation and impulse control while mindfulness supports noticing habits without judgment.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. She will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan over time based on what helps.
If you want to use online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings will be scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can try tools in their everyday contexts. Licensed professionals including therapists often adapt exercises and homework to work well in online meetings, and she will lay out clear steps to practice between sessions.
