About Lee

Lee Schlanger is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with five years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and major life changes. Lee approaches sessions with a warm, approachable manner and aims to build a trusting connection from the first meeting.

Clients can expect straightforward conversations focused on what matters most right now. Lee starts by listening to immediate concerns and then helps identify patterns that keep distress in place. He emphasizes emotional processing and clear steps that people can try between sessions.

Lee uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs, including attachment-based work, client-centered support, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and emotionally-focused tools. These methods guide problem-solving, emotion regulation, and rebuilding relationships with self and others.

He brings practical experience supporting people through trauma, substance use recovery, anger, intimacy and parenting challenges, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Lee aims to be non-judgmental and collaborative, helping people name what's hard and try small changes that add up.

Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. To get started, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability. Fees vary by location and use a cancellable subscription model.

How these approaches shape online work

Attachment-based work helps people notice how early relationships influence current feelings and reactions. It focuses on building a more secure way of relating to others and helps with fear of abandonment, attachment issues, and relational stress.

Client-centered therapy prioritizes the person in the room. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is heard, and follows the client’s lead to explore concerns like anxiety, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses concrete tools and short experiments to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and compulsive patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lee will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they will try methods, note what helps, and adjust as needed to find a good fit.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make scheduling around work or caregiving simpler. Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm available options before booking. Licensed professionals can adapt these therapeutic approaches to remote sessions to help people manage life changes and emotional struggles.
