Michael Rehg

Michael Rehg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who centers his work on client-centered and cognitive-behavioral ways of working. He emphasizes listening first and helps people set practical goals that match their day-to-day lives. He presents himself as calm and respectful, and focuses on helping people move from feeling stuck toward clearer choices and routines.

He has nine years of experience in community mental health, school-based work, and embedded practice settings. That background includes individual, group, and family work across a range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship strain. He pays attention to how culture and belief systems shape thoughts and behavior.

In sessions he uses straightforward, talk-and-action methods. He draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful patterns and client-centered principles to tailor pace and goals. He also works with narrative and solution-focused approaches when it helps people reframe problems or target a specific change.

Michael also lists experience with intimacy and sexuality topics, attachment questions, parenting and fatherhood issues, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. He aims to meet people where they are and build practical coping skills over time.

People who want help sorting life transitions, improving communication, or managing persistent stress will find a therapist who favors clear goals and steady support. To start, he asks clients to describe what matters most and then constructs steps that feel useful and doable.
