About Lola
Dr. Lola McGee is a licensed professional counselor in Texas with 19 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and major life changes.
Her style is straightforward and respectful. She aims to make the first steps feel less daunting for someone reaching out. McGee listens carefully and adapts conversations to each person's needs.
She works with practical strategies to reduce immediate symptoms and build longer-term coping skills.
Background and approach
That can include learning new ways to break down anxious thoughts, practicing emotion regulation skills, and addressing the impact of past trauma. Sessions are collaborative. The therapist and client set goals together and adjust the plan as progress is made.
McGee emphasizes sensitivity and compassion while keeping the work focused and clear. She also helps people with communication problems and feelings of isolation or loneliness. Mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety and phobia, and women's issues are areas she often addresses.
The approach is tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. Practical steps are part of the work. Clients can expect concrete tools for managing symptoms, chances to practice new skills between meetings, and regular check-ins on what’s changing.
The aim is steady, manageable progress over time.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Dr. McGee practices Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy, and also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when helpful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of past trauma through targeted strategies that help process difficult memories and reduce their hold on daily life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and practicing more effective relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and recommend approaches to try. That decision is made collaboratively and can change as progress is tracked.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins or practicing skills between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep regular contact with a licensed professional.
