Lee keeps sessions warm and straightforward. He focuses first on connection and on identifying the most pressing problem.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to reduce distressing symptoms and identify underlying causes through emotional processing and clear conversation. He describes his approach as collaborative and non-judgmental. He uses several therapy approaches to guide his work, including Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and emotion-focused methods.

Those tools are used to address relationship patterns, coping skills, mood symptoms, and trauma reactions. Lee emphasizes building a trusting counseling relationship as the foundation for change. Lee has experience supporting people through substance use recovery, anger management, and grief work.

He also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, and family of origin problems. His sessions aim to be practical while honoring emotional experience. Outside of counseling, Lee enjoys being outdoors, spending time with animals, and following sports.

He practices in Florida as an LMHC and offers telehealth-friendly formats for people who prefer remote sessions.

Online support

How attachment work and practical skills translate online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behavior. Online sessions with this approach look at patterns of connection and safety in relationships, helping people notice how past bonds affect present reactions and closeness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches clear, practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In remote sessions CBT often uses short skill practices, homework, and step-by-step tracking to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to pick methods that fit a person’s goals and preferences. That might mean prioritizing emotional processing in some weeks and practicing CBT skills in others so progress feels balanced and realistic.

Online therapy offers flexibility. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat provides a quick check-in, and text-based messaging supports ongoing processing between meetings. These options make it easier to fit counseling around work, caregiving, or travel while still working on attachment patterns, coping skills, and relationship concerns.
