Lee Schlanger, LMHC

Lee Schlanger is a Florida licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and relationship and family concerns. He is also experienced supporting people with parenting strain, anger, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Lee works in English and accepts international clients.

Lee keeps sessions warm and straightforward. He starts by building a connection and identifying the main issue to address. Conversations focus on feelings, patterns, and practical steps that can reduce daily distress.

His approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with attachment-informed and client-centered methods. That means he looks at thought patterns that keep problems going, while also paying attention to how early relationships shape current reactions. Sessions alternate between talking through emotions and practicing skills that change unhelpful behaviors.

Lee has five years of counseling experience and holds the LMHC credential, Florida LMHC. He has worked with people recovering from substance use, those managing trauma or abuse histories, and clients facing complicated family or intimacy issues. He also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue and caregiver stress.

Therapy with Lee is collaborative. He listens, validates how someone is feeling, and helps set clear goals. Practical tools, emotional processing, and steady support are core parts of his work.

To begin, a person chooses the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules sessions according to the therapist's availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Lee Uses Talk and Skill Work Online

Lee commonly combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy when working online. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current reactions and helps people build more secure ways of relating.

The therapist approaches the choice of method as a collaborative decision. He will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then recommend which approaches to try and adjust them as progress is made. This lets work stay focused and practical while also addressing deeper emotional patterns.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction for emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter touchpoints and flexible timing during busy days. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent, practice skills between sessions, and fit care into a real-life schedule.
