More about John

My name is John Thomas McRee. I am 62 years old and have been counseling individuals and groups for most of my life. I became licensed professionally almost 20 years ago. I became Independently credentialed in mental health and telemental health to open my own private counseling business in Grenada MS. I have enjoyed working with the largest online counseling service in the world, BetterHelp and plan on remaining with them for many more years. I believe online Telemental Health is extremely good and much easier for you to avoid having to travel to a clinic or an office. My methodology is simple: Talk Therapy, where I collaborate with individuals over various concerns and needs presented to me. The basic form of therapy/counseling I use is taken from evidence-based practices and proven techniques from the experts and founders of the therapies and theories in Counseling. The training I received was carefully and thoroughly monitored by CACREP, the Counsel for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs. After obtaining a Masters Degree in Clinical Counseling, I was supervised by the Mississippi Board of Examiners for Licensed Professional Counselors to get a professional license in counseling. I have worked in Mental Health treatment clinics, Crisis Stabilization centers, and at a local Hospital to experience the many facets of Mental Health to get the experience and knowledge I bring and share with those who desire it. I am both eclectic and flexible hoping to maintain a comfortable and effective atmosphere that is both pleasing and efficient

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

He is a great Therapist, his ability to see into your problem and give you good advice and recommendations on how to tackle issues are all very impressive.
John is a good therapist who understands me and my problems.
John is great! He gave me an extra hour of counseling when I needed it. Gave me really good advice that I genuinely considered and tried to implement more into my life. Really goes in depth with your past and see's how it can contribute to your habits and personality. Also knows CBT and DBT and gives his honest advice and perspective. Really great working with him. Thank you John
John is a wonderful therapist. Conversations are easy going like with a friend you’ve known for 10+ years. He’s truly there to help in any way he can.
I was honestly skeptical about the whole “therapy” thing for a while. Then I was paired with John, and he really helped me in ways that have put me on a better path. He is patient, caring, and genuine. He loves the Lord and has real experience dealing with the hardships of life which gives him good insight.
Great at both listening and empathizing, as well as suggesting helpful techniques to deal with my issues.
John is a great therapist who has helped me immensely. I would recommend him to anyone.
Sometimes you just need someone to listen and John is great at that. Great help!!
John is a great listener with great insight and suggestions that have helped me.
I have to thank God for John McRee. It's important to speak with believers of the same faith. John is a Christian man, believer in Jesus Christ, Counselor and Therapist. One of Gods best! I was in shambles. Jesus guided me to John and with John helped me through the turmoil and back into Jesus' light, stronger faith, hope and love. Thank you Jesus! Thank you John for answering the call, from Jesus and from me.
John is an incredible, down to earth and straight forward guy! Isn’t afraid to say it how it is, asks the real questions, but also is calm, collected and caring when push comes to shove. Really enjoying my time working with him and the building blocks we’ve put in place.
John McRee is an excellent listener. He is very meticulous and caring. He takes notes of all what a patient has to say, reviews them and addresses every point carefully. He also revises all points covered/raised during the session before he closes up to make sure all concerns were addressed. He is a genuine person. I highly recommend him. I made (LEAPS) towards healing with him.
