About Lola

Dr. Lola McGee is a licensed professional counselor with 19 years of experience practicing in Texas. She focuses on stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and helping people cope with life changes. She aims to meet people where they are and to treat each person with respect and compassion.

Her work centers on practical conversation and clear goals. Sessions usually include talking through current problems, learning skills to manage symptoms, and making a plan for small changes. She adapts the pace and focus to fit each person's needs.

Dr. McGee uses established approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to inform her work. That means she blends skill building, emotion regulation, and attention to past events that continue to affect daily life. She explains strategies in plain language and helps people practice them between sessions.

She also addresses concerns related to communication problems, loneliness and isolation, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety and phobia, and women's issues. Her goal is to help people regain stability and feel more able to handle everyday demands.

Starting therapy can feel hard, and she acknowledges that step. Dr. McGee tailors conversations and plans to each person's situation and encourages steady progress over time.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Dr. McGee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that increase stress or low mood. CBT focuses on small, practical steps and skills that can be practiced between sessions.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotions feel overwhelming. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and building routines that reduce crises. Those skills are useful for intense anxiety or mood swings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then adapt methods as progress is made. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to each person's needs.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow follow-up conversations that reinforce new skills. Licensed professionals can guide practice exercises and check progress between visits so skill building continues in daily life.
