About Jennifer
Dr. Jennifer McGee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 12 years of experience. She focuses on practical steps that help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, career questions, and major life changes. Her style is direct and action-oriented, aiming to help clients identify what to change and how to do it.
She believes counseling is a place for education, support, and a clear plan. Conversations look at thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. Then she helps people test new ways of thinking and acting to make daily life easier.
Her main method is Cognitive Behavioral work. That means sessions explore unhelpful beliefs and then build small, doable behavior changes. She also uses ideas from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, Narrative, and Solution-Focused work when those tools fit the goals.
People come to her for a wide range of concerns: coping with grief, trauma, relationship stress, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD, body image, chronic health issues, and career decisions. She helps people set realistic steps, practice those steps between sessions, and track progress.
Conversations are collaborative and practical. She listens for strengths that can be expanded, then outlines a plan clients can try right away. Her focus is on helping people make real changes that improve daily functioning and overall well-being.

How cognitive and behavioral approaches translate to online work
Dr. McGee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that change daily routines and mood. CBT sessions often include clear goals, short experiments to try between meetings, and focused practice that can be tracked over time.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness techniques to build emotional regulation and present-moment awareness. DBT-informed skills help manage strong emotions and impulsivity, while mindfulness practices support steadier attention and reduced reactivity.
Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels doable. Together they decide which approaches to prioritize and adjust as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so sessions are more practical. These features can help therapy become part of everyday life without asking for big schedule changes.
