About Geri

Geri Burgess, LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), brings 20 years of professional experience and a steady commitment to helping people navigate stress and anxiety. Licensed in Michigan, she focuses on building an atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be shared openly and without fear of judgment. Her approach emphasizes empathy and listening so individuals can explore challenges at their own pace and move toward clearer, more manageable ways of coping.

Geri recognizes that taking the first step toward change requires courage, and she frames therapy as a collaborative journey that honors each personâ€™s goals and values. She aims to support and empower people who seek a more fulfilling and happier life, offering practical strategies alongside compassionate guidance. Whether someone is facing a sudden transition or persistent worries, Geri works to help them identify strengths, build resilience, and create attainable steps forward.

Throughout her practice she prioritizes a welcoming environment where honest conversation is encouraged and growth is possible, helping clients feel seen and supported as they pursue meaningful change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Geri Burgess draws on client-centered therapy to place the person at the heart of the work - this approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and building a trusting relationship so clients feel supported in exploring their experiences and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with practical strategies that reduce anxiety and improve coping for issues like stress, mood concerns, and sleep difficulties. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices that help people manage intense emotions, increase self-awareness, and respond more calmly during moments of overwhelm.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process; Geri works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, preferences, and goals, adjusting the plan as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy is relevant and empowering.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic distance. These formats allow clients to access care from where they are, maintain continuity between sessions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable and effective for them.
