Michael Gee

Michael Gee is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan. He brings 10 years of experience helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. He writes plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Michael believes each person knows their own story and has strengths to draw on. In sessions he listens first, then helps people name what matters to them and try small changes. He uses a mix of approaches, including Trauma-Focused Therapy, acceptance and commitment ideas, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and EMDR where appropriate. His work often centers on staying steady after painful experiences. He helps people who are coping with loss, guilt and shame, isolation, codependency, or problems tied to substance use. He also supports those facing veteran and armed forces issues, post-traumatic stress, seasonal mood shifts, and social anxiety. Sessions aim to build practical skills and clearer choices. Michael encourages setting achievable goals and practicing new habits between meetings. He frames therapy as a collaborative process rather than a lecture. If you are nervous about starting, he acknowledges that first step takes courage. The intake process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability. From there work proceeds at a pace the person finds manageable.

How chosen approaches work online

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on working through the effects of past traumatic events so memories stop driving daily behavior; it often combines talking, grounding techniques, and carefully paced work to reduce distress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and learn small actions that align with those values while handling painful thoughts and feelings. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experience and priorities, with the therapist listening reflectively and following the person's pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level, and adjust as the process unfolds. That decision is made together rather than imposed.
