About Jennifer
Dr. Jennifer McGee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of experience who practices from Georgia. She guides people through stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes.
She also helps with ADHD, grief, career questions, and relationship or family concerns. She believes counseling can give education, practical support, and a clear plan. Sessions focus on what a person thinks and does now, and on small changes that add up.

She also draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. Many clients come for stress, compassion fatigue, parenting strain, or mood challenges such as bipolar disorder. She also addresses aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic illness and pain, body image, and caregiver stress.
Other focuses include communication problems, impulse control, and issues around kink and alternative sexual culture. Dr. McGee aims for straightforward sessions with clear goals and steps.
She encourages people to try small, bold changes and to track what works. The aim is more ease in day-to-day life and a direction that feels more manageable. Sessions are offered in English and are provided via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
She works collaboratively to create a plan that fits each person's schedule and needs.

Online session options
How Narrative, CBT, and DBT translate to online work
Dr. McGee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and to build new behaviors that make life easier. CBT is helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it focuses on practical steps and homework you can try between sessions.She also draws on Narrative Therapy to help people see the stories they tell about themselves in a new light. Narrative approaches can be useful for reframing experiences like grief, trauma, or midlife transitions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy is another tool she uses for emotion regulation and coping skills when feelings feel intense or overwhelming.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean starting with CBT exercises, adding narrative work, or practicing DBT skills depending on progress.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let you use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make it easy to check in quickly or to fit a brief session into a busy day. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caregiving, and other commitments.
