About Lee
Lee Schlanger is a Florida LMHC with five years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.
Lee focuses on clear, task-oriented work in sessions. He listens to what is most pressing and helps break problems into manageable steps. Sessions concentrate on noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying different ways of responding in daily life.
Lee draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-based ideas and client-centered conversation. He uses skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when they fit a person's goals. The approach is practical: learn a skill, try it between sessions, report back, and adjust the plan.
He has experience supporting people through substance use recovery, anger management, grief after loss, and trauma processing. He also addresses issues that often show up in relationships such as communication problems, commitment worries, codependency, and family of origin patterns.
Lee accepts clients in English and works with international clients. Fees vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Lee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; this method supports work on anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes through concrete exercises and homework. He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and intimacy-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy is part of his style too, meaning sessions include open listening and collaborative planning to set goals and next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will help determine which methods fit a person's goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is tracked. That decision is made together, based on problems, feedback, and what the person wants to achieve.
The biography highlights telehealth experience but does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it possible to continue skill practice between sessions and bring real-life examples into conversation.
