01About Michael
Michael Rehg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with nine years of experience in mental health work. He focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, stress, anger, relationship struggles, and questions about sexuality and identity. He offers a calm, respectful presence while people talk through what matters most to them.
Michael draws on client-centered work to build trust and make room for each person's story.
Background and approach
He pairs that with cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes that make daily life easier. He also uses trauma-focused tools when past events keep causing distress. His background includes work across community mental health and school settings, and he has led individual and group sessions.
That variety shaped his interest in attachment, family dynamics, fatherhood concerns, and communication problems. He also works with people navigating kink and alternative sex culture, body image, and intimacy-related questions. Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-focused.
Michael helps people set realistic steps, then checks what’s working and what needs adjusting. He adapts pace and techniques to each person’s situation rather than following a rigid script. Michael offers several online formats including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging.
He speaks English and works with adults in Missouri. If someone wants to begin, they fill out a short questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.

04Online support
How specific approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding, and responding to each person's needs. Online sessions let the therapist follow the person's pace, reflect concerns, and build trust through conversation in ways similar to an in-person meeting.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, then tries practical steps to shift them. In video or phone sessions this can include homework, tracking moods between sessions, and rehearsing new responses to common situations.
EMDR is a trauma-focused method used when past events keep causing strong reactions. In an online setting EMDR techniques can be guided verbally and with simple bilateral stimulation options that work over video or during phone calls.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk about goals, try methods that fit the situation, and check in regularly to see what helps. If something isn’t working, adjustments are made together rather than sticking to one plan.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging offer flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text can support ongoing reflection between sessions or provide quick, written check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caretaking, or busy schedules.
