About Lee
Lee Schlanger is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and trauma. He works with clients on relationship concerns, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and life transitions. Lee focuses on building a steady therapeutic connection first, then addressing the issues that brought someone in.
Lee keeps sessions warm and straightforward. He starts by listening to what matters most and setting short-term goals together.
Background and approach
He helps people name painful emotions and notices patterns that keep problems repeating. His approach is supportive and nonjudgmental while also practical when coping skills are needed. Over five years of practice, Lee has guided people through substance use recovery, anger management, and the aftermath of loss or trauma.
He also works with concerns tied to family of origin, attachment and intimacy struggles, caregiving stress, and codependency. That variety has shaped a flexible way of working that adapts to each person’s needs. Lee draws on several therapeutic methods to shape sessions, including attachment-based work, client-centered conversation, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and emotionally-focused ideas.
He blends emotional processing with skill-building so people can feel better and function better in daily life. Sessions may be scheduled online by people in Florida and beyond, and Lee communicates in English. He aims for a collaborative relationship where goals are clear and progress is tracked one step at a time.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships. In practice that means exploring patterns of connection, repair, and trust so people can feel safer in close relationships and understand attachment wounds.Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience at the center. Sessions follow the client’s pace, with reflective listening and validation that help someone make sense of emotions and decide on next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lee collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. He checks in about what’s working and adjusts plans over time so the therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full sessions and seeing nonverbal cues, while phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer quick check-ins, brief coaching, and ways to stay connected between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or travel, and they let people choose the format that fits their routine.
