He focuses on common problems like depression, grief, substance use, and coping with big life changes. Lee aims to create a calm, welcoming space for people to talk about what matters to them.

Background and approach
He favors emotional processing and real human connection as part of healing. Lee uses a mix of practical strategies and relationship-focused work. He draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
He also uses attachment-based and emotionally-focused approaches to strengthen how people relate to themselves and others. He has five years of clinical experience and practices in Florida. Lee supports people facing anger, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stresses, ADHD, and addiction recovery.
He also helps with attachment, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, and family-of-origin concerns. Sessions may include problem-solving, emotion regulation skills, and conversations about patterns that repeat across relationships. Lee aims to be nonjudgmental and to hold clients with respect and validation.
His goal is a genuine counseling relationship built on trust and teamwork.
Approach and online care that fits your life
Lee blends cognitive-behavioral work with attachment-based and emotionally-focused methods to help people manage anxiety and relationship concerns. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical tools to change them. Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions, which can help with intimacy and trust issues. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) helps people name and process strong feelings so they feel less overwhelming and can lead to clearer choices.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Lee will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. He adapts sessions over time, mixing skills practice with deeper emotional work when it makes sense for the client.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when discussion and nonverbal cues matter. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill reminders, and ongoing connection between longer sessions. These options add flexibility so people can continue progress from different places and schedules.
