About Michael
Michael Gee is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 10 years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and struggles with addiction. He begins by listening to each person's story and helping them notice their own strengths.
He uses clear, practical approaches in therapy and centers the client's goals in every session. He believes people know their story best and works alongside them to find real steps forward. Sessions are straightforward and aimed at manageable change over time.
Michael brings experience addressing trauma and abuse, post-traumatic stress, and veteran-related concerns. He also helps with feelings tied to abandonment, codependency, guilt, shame, and social anxiety. Work can include coping strategies for Seasonal Affective Disorder and support around forgiveness and self-love.
His approach draws on a mix of evidence-based methods including Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. These tools are used to match the work to someone’s needs rather than to impose a single method.

How Michael's Approaches Translate to Online Work
Michael uses Motivational Interviewing to help people resolve mixed feelings about change. This approach focuses on the client's own motivations and supports small, achievable steps when someone is ready to move forward.
He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice thoughts and feelings without fighting them and focus on actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist listens to your goals and preferences and will suggest which methods to try first. Together you can adjust the plan based on what is most helpful in practice.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins around work or family schedules.
