About Jennifer

Dr. Jennifer McGee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of clinical experience. She practices from Georgia and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, life changes, parenting challenges, ADHD, autism, and related concerns that appear in early adulthood.

She focuses on making therapy practical and action oriented. Conversations begin with what brings a person in now. Then she helps identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and builds small steps to change them.

Sessions include straightforward skill building and planning. Cognitive and behavioral strategies are used to notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Mindfulness and narrative approaches are woven in when they seem useful to reduce overwhelm and clarify values.

Jennifer describes counseling as a place for education, support, and a concrete plan. She helps people set clear goals and try bold, practical moves toward them. Work often centers on managing anxiety, coping with transitions like leaving home or starting a job, relationship strain, and questions about identity or direction.

She also offers support around caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, grief, and sexual diversity topics such as kink and BDSM as they relate to an individual's wellbeing. Sessions are presented in plain language and aim to leave people with specific next steps they can use between meetings.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Jennifer works in English and is based in Georgia.

How her approaches translate to online work

CBT is about noticing unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. Online sessions can focus on identifying thought patterns, trying small behavioral experiments, and then reviewing what worked. DBT offers skills for regulating intense emotions and managing conflict; those skills can be taught in sessions and practiced between meetings to reduce overwhelm.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try approaches that fit. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps and what feels doable for that person.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed here. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy schedules because sessions can be scheduled around school or work, require less travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when days are tight. Confirm the exact session options and format when you sign up so they match your needs.
