Lee Schlanger, LMHC

Lee Schlanger is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with five years of practice. He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addictions, and intimacy-related issues. Lee aims to make the first sessions feel warm and straightforward so people can talk about what matters most.

Lee builds a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to describe what they are feeling. He begins by connecting and identifying the main concerns. Then he helps clients name the feelings and understand what keeps those patterns going. Sessions emphasize emotional processing and clear steps forward rather than jargon.

His approach combines several evidence-based methods to match what each person needs. Lee uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape present problems. He also draws on cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and on emotion-focused techniques to deepen emotional awareness. Dialectical behavior strategies are used when people need practical skills for managing intense emotions.

Lee has experience supporting people through substance recovery, anger management, parenting and family concerns, ADHD-related struggles, and the aftermath of abuse or loss. He also addresses issues like body image, codependency, communication problems, and caregiver stress. He has worked in clinical settings since 2017 and now practices from Florida.

Sessions are offered in English and Lee is open to working with international clients. To start, people use the site matching process to find him and schedule a first meeting. Lee emphasizes collaboration, respect, and steady emotional work throughout therapy.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and reactions. Online sessions using this approach help people notice patterns in relationships and try new ways of connecting and responding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together; in remote sessions a therapist helps identify unhelpful thinking and practices small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted as therapy progresses so the work stays practical and relevant to your life.

The biography notes tele-mental health experience, but specific session types should be confirmed before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules, cut travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer options for people living outside the therapist's immediate area. Lee will work with clients to set a session rhythm that fits daily routines and supports steady progress.
