Michael Rehg

Michael Rehg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri. He uses a client-centered approach and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship challenges. He aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where clients set goals at a comfortable pace.

Michael brings nine years of counseling experience across community mental health, school-based settings, and group work. He has worked with people presenting with trauma, community violence, family conflict, parenting strain, and attention-related concerns. He pays attention to cultural and cross-cultural influences on how people understand their problems.

In sessions, Michael focuses on practical steps and clearer thinking. He helps people notice how beliefs shape feelings and actions, and then tries different ways of responding. Goal-setting is collaborative and paced to match each person’s needs and life situation.

He also draws on narrative and solution-focused ideas to help clients reframe difficulties and build workable strategies. EMDR is listed among his approaches and may be used where appropriate to address trauma-related memories. Michael emphasizes respect, open-mindedness, and steady support while you work toward change.

People often come for help with body image, intimacy and sexual concerns, attachment questions, parenting challenges, and issues tied to identity such as LGBT matters. Michael works to help clients find clearer direction, stronger coping, and more satisfying relationships.

How Michael’s Approaches Work in Online Therapy

Michael combines client-centered work and cognitive-behavioral techniques to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and aligning sessions with the person’s concerns so they feel heard and respected. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior, teaching practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michael will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will choose methods that fit your needs. Sessions are collaborative, with pacing and techniques adjusted over time to match what helps you most.

The practical benefits of remote therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Because exact session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to check in during a break, avoid travel time, or use shorter sessions when that fits better. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and client-centered tools to work in an online setting to help you move toward clearer thinking and stronger coping.
