About Jennifer
Dr. Jennifer McGee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of clinical experience based in Georgia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, parenting challenges, ADHD, and autism. Her approach is practical and action-oriented, focused on making concrete changes rather than simply talking about problems.
She explains how thoughts and behaviors interact and uses that as a framework for change. That means looking at beliefs that get in the way and trying different actions to break unhelpful patterns. Sessions include clear steps and a plan for moving forward rather than open-ended discussion alone.
Clients can expect a direct style that outlines what to practice between sessions. Work often includes identifying unhelpful thinking, testing new behaviors, and tracking small wins. The emphasis is on things people can try right away to ease symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Dr. McGee also uses techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, narrative work, and solution-focused methods when they fit a person's goals. These add tools for emotion regulation, present-moment awareness, and clarifying personal stories that shape behavior.
She frames counseling as an educational process with a plan. Together with each person she sets specific goals and practical steps to reach them. The focus is on taking action that leads to measurable change.
How CBT and related approaches work for online sessions
Dr. McGee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. CBT in practice means identifying beliefs that maintain anxiety or low mood, setting small behavioral experiments, and reviewing what changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. That can mean starting with CBT exercises, adding DBT skills, or using brief solution-focused steps to address immediate problems. The plan is adjusted as progress and needs become clearer.
