Michael Rehg, LPC

Michael Rehg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who uses a cognitive behavioral approach alongside client-centered ideas. He emphasizes clear goals and practical steps so people can see small changes that add up. Michael writes simply and listens closely to each person's story before suggesting the next step.

He has nine years of clinical experience across community settings and schools. That background means he has worked in individual and group formats and has supported people through grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship stress. His work has included helping people manage anger, attention difficulties, and the strain that comes with life changes.

In sessions he focuses on how beliefs shape feelings and actions. Michael helps people notice thought patterns, try different behaviors, and track what works. He pairs that with a respectful, person-centered stance so people feel heard while making practical shifts.

He also has experience addressing intimacy, sexuality, and alternative sexual cultures, including kink and BDSM topics, and can talk about body image, commitment worries, and fatherhood concerns. He brings awareness of cultural differences into each conversation.

Michael offers therapy in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a session using the Start Therapy button.

Remote approaches rooted in practical change

Michael commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered principles to help people make tangible changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and test patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems active, and it can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship so people feel understood while they work toward their goals.

He also uses EMDR for trauma work when appropriate, which involves guided processing of distressing memories to reduce their emotional charge. Any choice among these approaches is collaborative - the therapist and client talk through options and decide together which method fits the issue, the person's goals, and their comfort level.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier and therapy more accessible. Video lets people work face-to-face when convenient. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging support ongoing reflection between sessions and work well for people who prefer written conversation or need flexibility during a busy week. These options help people fit therapy into everyday life while using approaches that match their needs.
