As an LPC - a Licensed Professional Counselor - he combines professional training with a collaborative style to help clients identify practical ways to manage symptoms, clarify values, and move toward meaningful goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Michael Gee commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as part of his practice. ACT helps people clarify personal values and build actions that align with what matters most, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress related to life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and social phobia. EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that supports processing distressing memories and can be helpful for post-traumatic stress and other trauma-related concerns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Michael works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore techniques, adjust strategies over time, and prioritize approaches that feel most effective for the individual's situation.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to receive care from home or other convenient locations. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access support despite geographic constraints, and continue work between sessions with different communication styles that suit each person's comfort and lifestyle.
