About Michael

Michael Rehg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with nine years of experience. He works with adults on concerns such as anger, anxiety, depression, grief, stress, relationship problems, and parenting challenges. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can use day to day to manage strong emotions and handle conflict more calmly.

He uses a client-centered approach that keeps the conversation focused on what matters to the person in front of him. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are woven into sessions to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Other methods he lists include EMDR, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy when those fit the work.

Michael's background includes work in community mental health and schools, offering individual and group support. That range means he has experience helping people who face trauma, community violence, and complicated family dynamics. He pays attention to cultural and cross-cultural factors in how people make sense of events and react to stress.

In sessions, he helps people set clear, realistic goals and takes a collaborative approach to reach them. He describes therapy as a team effort where the client’s comfort and pacing guide the work. Practical tools and communication techniques are common parts of the process.

People who want to reduce angry outbursts, lower ongoing resentment, or handle workplace and family frustration often look for this kind of direct, skill-focused help. The work can include short-term problem solving and longer-term attention to patterns that keep causing difficulty.

How Michael integrates approaches into online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client’s priorities shape each session. It helps when someone needs space to talk through what they are feeling and figure out their own next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and then tests small behavior changes to reduce anger and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michael says he will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and pace. That collaborative choice can mean starting with short-term goals and then shifting to deeper pattern work as trust grows.

The practical benefits of online sessions include easier scheduling and fitting therapy into a workday or family routine. Online sessions can make it simpler to have a brief check-in when time is tight or to attend without traveling. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available and which one will best fit your daily life.
