About Michael
Michael Gee is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Michigan who draws on a pragmatic, skills-based approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction struggles, trauma, grief, and depression.
Background and approach
With ten years of clinical experience, he combines practical interventions with respect for each person's perspective, encouraging clients to build on their strengths and reclaim a sense of agency in difficult moments. He weaves Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) together with acceptance-oriented methods and client-centered techniques, adapting evidence-informed tools to the needs of each person.
Michael also uses EMDR and motivational interviewing when appropriate to address trauma-related symptoms and motivation for change. His work emphasizes actual coping strategies alongside exploration of meaning, forgiveness, and interpersonal patterns such as codependency and isolation.
Clients can expect a supportive, collaborative process that honors their story while focusing on clear, achievable steps forward. Michael recognizes the courage involved in beginning therapy and aims to make the first steps approachable and purposeful for people seeking relief and growth.
Integrating evidence-based approaches in online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and learning concrete skills to change emotions and behaviors; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and develop psychological flexibility through mindfulness and commitment to meaningful action, which can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and low motivation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and unconditional acceptance, creating a respectful environment where clients feel heard and can explore their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work, and Michael will collaborate with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. He adapts techniques rather than imposing a single method, so the plan evolves based on progress and client feedback.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These formats make it easier to access consistent care from Michigan while accommodating busy routines, mobility limits, or those who prefer written or brief-session interactions. The variety of session types supports ongoing treatment and lets clients choose the way they engage that feels most workable for them.
