Dr. Lola McGee

Dr. Lola McGee is an LPC who has worked in Texas for 19 years. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports people who are coping with major life changes. She writes in a straightforward way and aims to meet people where they are. Her approach is respectful and practical. She listens first and then tailors conversations and a plan to each person's needs. Sessions often include clear skills people can use between meetings to handle anxiety, mood shifts, and difficult memories. Dr. McGee uses methods from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and managing intense feelings. Trauma-focused therapy is part of her work when past events are central to a person's current struggles. People come to her for common concerns like social anxiety, isolation, communication problems, and post-traumatic stress. She aims to create a supportive space that treats concerns seriously while staying practical about next steps. If someone is ready to begin, she encourages taking a small first step and will help plan sessions around the person’s priorities. Her style combines active listening with concrete tools aimed at everyday improvements.

How specific approaches guide online work

Dr. McGee uses cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused therapy as core ways to help people change patterns that keep them stuck. CBT involves identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and then trying new behaviors to see what shifts. Trauma-focused therapy looks at how past events affect current mood and reactions and helps people process those memories safely.

She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. These are practical, step-by-step tools for managing intense feelings and improving communication. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process; the therapist and client discuss needs, goals, and preferences to decide what to try first and adapt as work continues.

It can also allow brief check-ins when life gets hectic, or let people use methods like skills coaching and thought records between meetings. Licensed professionals can tailor session length and focus to match day-to-day demands and progress.
