About John
John Lee is a clinical social worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts with 22 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addiction, relationship problems, parenting concerns, and other life adjustments. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients.
He begins by building trust and a straightforward working relationship. He uses a conversational, client-centered style that aims to make talking about difficult feelings easier. People who come for help often want practical ways to manage strong emotions and improve daily functioning.
John draws on several evidence-informed approaches. He integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thinking patterns that fuel mood and behavior. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice uncomfortable thoughts and commit to values-based action. Mindfulness methods are woven into sessions to teach grounding and attention skills.
His practice addresses a wide range of concerns beyond anger, including bipolar disorder, grief, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and issues around identity and relationships. John also works with aging and caregiver stress, blended family issues, and problems with communication and control.
Sessions are practical and down-to-earth. Conversations focus on concrete skills, clearer communication, and small changes that reduce reactive moments. He encourages clients to try techniques between meetings and to track what helps in daily life.
How sessions work
How his approaches are used in online sessions
John commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts and choose behaviors that align with their values, which can be useful for anger and life changes. CBT focuses on spotting thought patterns that lead to reactive behavior and practicing different responses to shift mood and actions.He also brings client-centered and mindfulness elements into remote work. Client-centered methods keep the conversation collaborative and paced to the person's needs. Mindfulness exercises teach attention and grounding practices that people can use between sessions to reduce reactivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss goals and preferences, try methods in session, and adjust what they do based on what helps. That makes therapy a collaborative effort rather than a fixed plan.
