About Jennifer

Dr. Jennifer McGee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 12 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She centers her work on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions by combining practical strategies with thoughtful support. Her background includes assisting clients with ADHD, autism, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, grief, relationship and family concerns, and mood disorders among other issues.

Her style emphasizes creating a clear plan alongside skills-building so clients can make measurable changes. Dr.

McGee uses cognitive behavioral ideas alongside mindfulness, dialectical skills, narrative techniques, and solution-focused strategies to address both the thoughts that maintain problems and the behaviors that keep patterns in place. She frames counseling as an active process that includes education, reflection, and deliberate action toward goals.

Clients who value a structured, collaborative approach may find her practice a good match. Dr.

McGee aims to help people identify unhelpful beliefs, shift behaviors that no longer serve them, and develop practical steps toward greater wellbeing and life satisfaction.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions

Dr. McGee commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and develop practical strategies for change. CBT focuses on recognizing and altering thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness Therapy complements that work by teaching present-moment awareness and techniques to reduce reactivity and increase emotional regulation.

She also brings elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when clients need skills for emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance. Those DBT-informed tools can be integrated into sessions when the primary goals involve managing intense emotions or improving communication patterns. Deciding which approaches to use is a collaborative process; the therapist partners with each client to tailor methods to their goals, preferences, and life context rather than prescribing a single path up front.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions and to fit skills practice into daily routines, while allowing licensed professionals to work with clients from various parts of Georgia.
