About Lee
Lee Schlanger is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who focuses on men's wellbeing among other concerns. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, anger, and relationship or family challenges. Lee aims to create a calm, welcoming space where clients can talk and feel heard.
Lee works in a warm, collaborative way. Sessions start by connecting and naming the most pressing concerns. He then helps people notice patterns, process difficult emotions, and identify practical steps they can try between sessions. He emphasizes emotional processing and building a trusting relationship.
His background includes five years practicing since 2017, with experience supporting people through trauma, substance use recovery, and grief. He also has experience in relationship and marriage and family counseling and addresses topics such as parenting, fatherhood issues, attachment concerns, and codependency.
Lee uses a mix of approaches depending on each person's needs. He draws on attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, and emotionally focused techniques to guide conversations and skills practice.
Clients can expect a therapist who listens without judgment and stays focused on goals that matter to them. He describes his role as collaborative rather than prescriptive, helping clients uncover root causes and try new ways of coping. Those looking to start can follow the site's match process to arrange an initial session.
How Lee’s approaches translate to online work
Lee uses attachment-based and client-centered approaches alongside cognitive behavioral ideas. Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds shape how people relate now and can help with intimacy, abandonment, and connection concerns. Client-centered methods prioritize listening, empathy, and building a trusting therapeutic relationship so clients feel understood before making changes. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and offer practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lee will discuss goals and preferences during initial sessions and tailor methods to what fits each person best. That means techniques and pacing are chosen together, and adjustments are made as progress or challenges emerge.
The biography notes his telehealth experience, so online sessions are part of his practice; please confirm the specific session formats offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and offer options for people who prefer not to use video. Licensed professionals can still use the same attachment, client-centered, and cognitive behavioral approaches effectively through well-structured remote sessions.
