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 world's most extensive online counseling service, BetterHelp, and plan on remaining with them for many more years. I believe online Telemental Health is perfect, and it is much easier for you to avoid traveling 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. CACREP, the Counsel for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs, carefully and thoroughly monitored the training I received. After obtaining a Masters Degree in Clinical Counseling, I was supervised for two years 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 practical atmosphere that is both pleasing and efficient

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

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.
