About Jennifer

Dr. Jennifer McGee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of clinical experience. She practices from Georgia and brings a practical, action-focused style to therapy. She speaks English and works with adults who are facing stress, mood concerns, or major life changes.

Her work often centers on depression, anxiety, and everyday pressure from work or parenting. She also supports people navigating ADHD, autism, grief, and compassion fatigue. Intellectual disability is listed among her focus areas and she has experience with related concerns.

Dr. McGee favors straightforward, problem-solving methods. She helps people look at unhelpful thoughts and the behaviors that follow. Together they set clear goals and build step-by-step plans to reach them. Sessions emphasize small, practical changes that can be tried between meetings.

She describes therapy as a space to name feelings, test beliefs, and take action toward a better daily life. The therapist frames clients as having answers inside themselves and helps them act on those insights. Expect a supportive, goal-oriented relationship with regular check-ins on progress.

Her approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral ideas, with use of behavioral strategies and attention to thinking patterns. She combines these with skill-building and brief, solution-focused conversations to keep work focused and manageable. People who want direct feedback and concrete strategies may find her style fits well.

Step 3

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Dr. McGee commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts and actions and guides practical experiments to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, achievable steps and brief goal-setting to build momentum and tackle specific problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to figure out which methods suit a person's needs and goals. That means discussing what is most important, trying techniques, and adjusting the plan together over time.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It also makes it possible to use worksheets, behavioral experiments, and homework in between meetings so progress continues outside sessions. Many people find these practical advantages help them stay consistent and apply therapy tools in daily life.
