About Michael
Michael Rehg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri. He uses straightforward, person-focused care to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. Michael draws on nine years of experience to guide practical steps toward steadier days.

How Michael works
Michael has worked in community mental health and school settings, offering individual and group support. That variety has shaped his ability to work with many different problems, from trauma and abuse to parenting and fatherhood issues. He pays attention to culture and background when talking about values and choices.
Sessions focus on clear goals and small, concrete steps. Michael helps people notice patterns, test new ways of responding, and practice skills between meetings. He also offers approaches for processing painful memories when needed.
Many people come for help with communication problems, intimacy-related issues, body image, or life transitions. Michael supports those looking for clearer decision making, better boundaries, and more consistent self-care. He works with adults across a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, compassion fatigue, and sexuality questions.
Michael aims to make therapy straightforward, respectful, and useful from the first session onwards.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people set their own goals. Online sessions using this approach center on the client's priorities and build on strengths to solve practical problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In an online setting CBT uses brief exercises, thought records, and action steps that people can try between sessions to reduce anxiety and depression.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they will choose methods that fit the person's needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats offer flexibility in how therapy happens. Video calls provide face-to-face contact for deeper work. Phone sessions can be easier when a quieter or lower-bandwidth option is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, tracking progress, or continuing work between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical change and steady progress.
