About Michael

Michael Rehg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with nine years of experience in mental health and behavioral counseling. He has worked with clients from age five through adulthood, addressing a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, community violence, and family and relationship issues. He brings an attentive awareness to multicultural and cross-cultural influences that shape each person’s experience and the therapeutic relationship.

His background spans community mental health settings and school-based practice, with experience providing individual, group, and family therapy. Michael believes that personal belief systems strongly influence thoughts, emotions, and actions, and he approaches each client with compassion, respect, and an open-minded stance. His work emphasizes understanding how past and present experiences shape decisions and daily life.

Clinically, his approach is shaped largely by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy, and he treats goal-setting as a collaborative process. He works at each client’s comfort level to establish meaningful, achievable objectives that fit their life. Whether clients seek symptom relief or a deeper path of self-discovery, Michael supports and empowers them as they take steps toward greater well-being.

He recognizes that mental health is a journey and that feeling lost in the moment does not determine the future. Michael values the courage it takes to pursue change and offers steady support for clients ready to move toward a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Michael Rehg draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core influences in his work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, offering a supportive space where clients lead the pace of exploration and the therapist reflects and validates their experience - this approach can help with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and coping skills by teaching practical tools that clients can apply between sessions. He also integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) techniques when appropriate to help process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Michael works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors interventions over time, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds so that treatment remains aligned with each client’s priorities.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing sessions over video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, to continue care when travel or scheduling are barriers, and to maintain regular contact between appointments. For many clients, virtual sessions can increase accessibility and consistency while preserving the core therapeutic relationship with a licensed professional.
