About Michael

Michael Rehg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri. He brings a client-centered approach that focuses on listening and responding to each person’s needs. He aims to create a respectful space where people can talk through hard things and set practical goals.

He relies on client-centered work alongside cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Michael has experience helping with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and family stress, and other concerns. He emphasizes working at a pace that feels comfortable for the person in the room.

His background includes roles in community mental health, school-based settings, and group and family therapy. That range of settings gives him practice with different kinds of struggles and life stages. He also pays attention to cultural and cross-cultural factors when understanding a person’s story.

In sessions he focuses on clear goals and practical steps. Therapy is a team effort where the person’s values and choices guide the work. Michael aims to support people whether they are seeking relief from symptoms or exploring deeper personal growth.

He frames mental health as a process and acknowledges how hard it is to take the first step. Michael offers steady encouragement and collaborative planning so people can move toward a more fulfilling life.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It supports building a trusting relationship and shaping goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort. This often means trying an approach, checking how it feels, and adjusting as needed.

Confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Others choose formats that allow shorter check-ins or that work better when bandwidth or quiet time varies. Discussing practical details ahead of time helps arrange sessions that match daily life and therapy goals.
