About Michael
Michael Rehg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who focuses on practical, person-centered care. He uses clear, goal-focused conversations to help people manage feelings like anger, anxiety, and depression. Michael writes and speaks plainly so worried parents can understand how therapy might help their family member.
He leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to guide sessions. That means sessions often look at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors, while also honoring each person's experience.
Background and approach
He pairs that with techniques from EMDR and Narrative Therapy when trauma or painful memories are present. Michael has nine years of experience across community mental health, schools, and group settings. He has worked with people facing grief, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, and stress from life changes.
He also supports people dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, body image, and men's issues. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person’s comfort. Michael focuses on clear goals and steady steps toward change, whether the aim is improving communication, easing intense anger, or building self-esteem.
He emphasizes respect for cultural and identity factors in every conversation. People who work with him can expect practical skills, reflective discussion, and step-by-step planning. Michael frames therapy as a joint effort to make daily life more manageable and more meaningful.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to each person's unique experience. Online sessions using this approach focus on understanding what matters most to you and shaping sessions around your goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions; in remote sessions this often involves working on specific skills, thought records, and action plans together. EMDR helps when distressing memories or trauma are blocking daily life; adapted for online work, it uses structured processing to reduce the intensity of painful memories.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Michael will work collaboratively to match methods to your needs, goals, and comfort level. He may combine elements from different approaches so the work fits your situation rather than forcing a single method.
Online therapy offers flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls let you read facial cues and work through exercises in real time. Phone sessions can be a quieter option that needs less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, between-session support, or when writing helps you organize thoughts. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into work, school, or caregiving routines while keeping therapy consistent.
