About Jennifer
Dr. Jennifer McGee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of experience based in Georgia. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, ADHD, and life transitions.
Her style is direct and practical, focused on finding clear steps you can try between sessions. She frames counseling as a place to learn, plan, and take action. Conversations focus on the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.
Then she and the client build a step-by-step plan to test new ways of thinking and acting.
Background and approach
Dr. McGee uses common-sense strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches. That means she looks at unhelpful thoughts and at habits that reinforce them.
Small changes in thinking and daily routines are used to create noticeable shifts in mood and functioning. She also draws on mindfulness and narrative ideas to help people notice patterns and tell a different story about their lives. Solution-focused techniques are used when clients want quick, practical steps for immediate problems.
Sessions are collaborative and aimed at goals the client sets. Dr. McGee works with adults dealing with relationship strain, grief, compassion fatigue, career stress, and mood concerns including bipolar and depression.
She also supports people navigating identity and neurodiversity issues such as LGBT concerns, autism, and ADHD. Her approach is straightforward, action-oriented, and adaptable to each person’s needs.

How practical approaches work online
Dr. McGee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people change the thoughts and habits that cause ongoing stress. CBT focuses on identifying thinking patterns that lead to anxiety or low mood and testing new behaviors to produce different results. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to notice emotions and reduce reactivity, which can help with stress, parenting strain, and mood regulation.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss your goals and preferences, try a few strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and therapist set specific, measurable goals and review progress regularly to keep work focused and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy family schedules and work demands. Video is useful for full sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, homework support, or when a quick touchpoint between sessions helps maintain momentum.
