About Michael
Michael Gee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 10 years of clinical experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. He works in English and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
He uses straightforward methods to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions commonly include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to notice thought patterns and try different responses. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered approaches to support values-based choices and to center the client's perspective.
With people facing addiction and substance concerns, he uses motivational interviewing strategies to clarify reasons for change and build motivation. For trauma-related symptoms he may integrate EMDR-informed ideas alongside other approaches to reduce distress tied to painful memories.
Sessions are constructive and goal oriented. He focuses on clear skills - for example breathing and grounding, thought records, behavioral experiments, and steps to reduce avoidance. He also helps with relationship-related problems such as abandonment, codependency, and social anxiety by breaking problems into concrete behaviors to practice.
Clients can expect a practical, conversational style that emphasizes what to try between sessions. He asks about what matters most, sets short-term goals, and adapts methods to fit each person’s situation. To get started he directs people to the online matching and scheduling process.
How his approaches translate to online work
Michael uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain problems. CBT sessions focus on small, testable changes such as thought records, activity scheduling, and behavioral experiments that can be practiced between appointments.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take committed action despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Client-Centered Therapy is part of his approach too, which emphasizes listening to the client's perspective and shaping goals around what matters to them.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is collaborative. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try methods that seem likely to help, and adjust the plan based on what works. That process helps match CBT, ACT, or client-centered techniques to the client’s needs.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people practice skills in everyday settings and bring real-life situations into discussion without promising any particular format.
