01About Michael
Michael Gee is a licensed professional counselor in Michigan with a decade of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. He approaches each person as an expert in their own life and works alongside them to build on their strengths.
Michael uses practical, straightforward methods in sessions. He listens first and then helps people try different ways to manage overwhelming emotions and behaviors.
Background and approach
He encourages small, achievable steps so progress feels doable rather than overwhelming. People come to him for a range of concerns beyond general anxiety and depression. He also works with issues such as abandonment, codependency, drug and alcohol addiction, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and social anxiety or phobia.
He has experience addressing veteran and armed forces issues, post-traumatic stress, and seasonal affective disorder. In sessions Michael draws on a mix of approaches. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take committed action, and EMDR for processing traumatic memories when appropriate.
Motivational Interviewing helps when people feel stuck around change. He aims to create a practical plan each person can try between sessions. That plan might include new coping skills, short behavioral experiments, or steps to increase self-compassion and forgiveness.
The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions that match those values. It can reduce avoidance and increase meaning in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world experiments to change mood and behavior. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and social fears. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a trauma-focused method used to process difficult memories and reduce their emotional intensity when appropriate.Choosing the approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Changes are paced to the individual, and adjustments are made along the way based on what helps.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to get support. Video calls let people work face to face without travel. Phone sessions reduce bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to check in between sessions or use brief coaching-style exchanges. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules while keeping the focus on real, practical steps.
