Cute Lee, LPCC

Cute Lee is a licensed professional clinical counselor with 15 years of experience offering calm, practical support. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas to help people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions.

He frames therapy as a place to pause and make small, steady changes. Sessions focus on everyday skills people can use between meetings. He helps clients notice patterns in thoughts and behavior, try new responses, and practice approaches that fit their daily life.

Over his career he has supported people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, career decisions, and compassion fatigue. He also addresses trauma and abuse, depression, panic, and chronic illness concerns. Many clients seek help with self-esteem, intimacy worries, and questions about purpose and identity.

Cute Lee brings a warm, respectful manner to sessions and centers the person’s goals and values. He combines client-centered listening with concrete strategies drawn from CBT and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Mindfulness practices are used to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment choice.

In sessions he may use motivational interviewing to strengthen resolve around behavior change such as smoking or vaping cessation. Therapy is collaborative - goals are set together and adjusted over time to match what’s helpful.

He sees clients in Minnesota and conducts sessions in English. Work typically includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on what fits the client’s needs.

Using CBT, ACT, and Mindfulness Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Online CBT often focuses on short exercises, tracking patterns, and homework that can be done between sessions to reduce anxiety or depression.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values and committed action. It teaches people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while still taking steps toward what matters, which can help with life transitions, chronic pain, and feelings of emptiness.

Mindfulness Therapy trains present-moment attention through simple exercises. These practices can lower reactivity, reduce rumination, and support coping with stress or panic attacks.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust strategies over time so sessions feel useful and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people practice skills together and use visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging suits quick check-ins or when typed reflection helps. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or other busy schedules.
