About Lee
Lee Schlanger is a Florida LMHC with five years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, substance use recovery, anger, relationship and family concerns, and parenting strains. Sessions are offered in English and Lee accepts international clients.
Lee keeps sessions straightforward. He begins by connecting and identifying the main problem to address. Conversations focus on what is happening now and the feelings that come with it. He aims to help clients name what they are feeling and notice patterns that maintain distress.
His approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered principles. That means attention to how relationships shape feelings, and time spent listening without jumping straight to techniques. He also uses cognitive behavioral strategies and elements of dialectical behavior therapy when practical. Those tools are used to change unhelpful thoughts, rebuild coping skills, and manage strong emotions like anger.
Lee also incorporates emotionally-focused methods in sessions that center on close relationships. This can help people dealing with intimacy problems, communication breakdown, or family-of-origin issues. He has experience supporting clients through addiction recovery and related challenges such as codependency and control issues.
Practical steps are a regular part of work with him. You can expect collaborative problem solving, emotion regulation skills, and targeted behavioral tasks between sessions. He asks clients to set goals and checks progress over time so therapy stays relevant and focused.
How sessions work
How Lee blends approaches for online sessions
Attachment-based work pays attention to how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. In practice this looks like mapping how attachment patterns show up in relationships and linking those patterns to present anger or withdrawal. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship. Sessions using this approach emphasize the client's perspective and aims, with the therapist guiding rather than directing the process and helping people feel heard.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lee will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Together they decide whether to focus more on relationship dynamics, skill building, or a mix of methods as therapy moves forward.
The biography highlights tele-mental health experience, so online sessions are part of how he practices. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it, and reduce travel time. It also lets clients try different pacing and practice skills between sessions in real-life settings. Licensed professionals adapt tools like CBT exercises and DBT-informed skills to work over a distance so therapy stays practical and focused.
