About Michael
Michael Gee is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 10 years of clinical experience. He helps people manage stress and anxiety and offers support for addiction, trauma, grief, and depression. He speaks plain language and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day.
Michael approaches therapy as a collaborative process. He centers the person's own story and strengths rather than imposing solutions. Sessions tend to be straightforward and focused on what the person wants to change or understand.
Background and approach
He uses several methods to guide work in sessions, including tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and strategies from acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and build committed action. He also brings techniques that can help when traumatic memories or painful experiences keep coming up.
Michael pays attention to how addiction, loneliness, guilt, and shame affect daily life. He also supports people dealing with issues linked to military service and post-traumatic stress. Conversations often include steps for coping in the moment and plans to reduce distress over weeks and months.
His style is direct but respectful. Michael reminds people that they already have resources and that therapy is about using those strengths in new ways. He encourages small, steady changes rather than dramatic overnight fixes.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions that align with those values. Online work with ACT can focus on short exercises, real-life homework, and tracking small steps between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, centers on spotting and changing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In an online setting CBT often uses structured conversations, worksheets, and step-by-step experiments to test new ways of coping. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used for processing traumatic memories that continue to cause distress; when appropriate EMDR techniques can be adapted to video or phone work with careful planning and pacing.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaboration can mean mixing approaches over time and adjusting based on what helps most in practice.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and interactive exercises, while phone calls can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or keeping momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or family responsibilities while using the therapist's chosen approaches.
