About Michael
Michael Rehg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with nine years of experience. He works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship problems. Michael also supports people navigating parenting challenges, ADHD, stress and questions about sexuality and identity.
He uses approaches rooted in client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. That means sessions are focused on what matters most to the person and on practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also draws on EMDR, narrative therapy, and solution-focused work when those tools fit the situation.
Michael has worked across community mental health, schools, and embedded clinical settings. He has experience offering individual and group therapy and has worked with people at different life stages. He pays attention to cultural and cross-cultural factors that shape how people experience stress and relationships.
In sessions he talks through current problems, identifies achievable goals, and practices skills that can be used between meetings. He helps people examine beliefs that influence their choices and mood, and he uses short-term strategies alongside deeper processing when needed.
People often come to him feeling stuck after a breakup, exhausted by work or caregiving, overwhelmed by anxiety, or uncertain about next steps in life. He supports people who want clearer communication, steadier mood, or ways to manage intense memories and emotions.
How his therapeutic approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on what matters to the person in front of him. It emphasizes listening, reflecting your concerns, and helping you set your own goals. This approach suits people who want to be active in shaping what they work on and how sessions proceed.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT breaks down problems into manageable steps and teaches practical skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. EMDR helps people process distressing memories through structured sessions and can be used for trauma-related symptoms when appropriate.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michael will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their history, needs, and goals. He adjusts plans as progress is made and as priorities change.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic. Some formats also use less bandwidth or do not require video, which can help on low-data days. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques like CBT worksheets, narrative exercises, and EMDR-informed processing to remote sessions when appropriate.
