About Lee
Lee Schlanger is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and related concerns. He offers a warm, inviting approach that focuses on connection and emotional processing.
Background and approach
Sessions start with the most pressing concern and aim to make clients feel heard and steady. Lee works in straightforward, practical ways.
He listens first, then helps clients identify patterns keeping them stuck. He uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to shift unhelpful thoughts and from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation skills.
He also draws on Gottman Method ideas when relationship or communication issues arise. His background includes five years of clinical work as a licensed mental health counselor in Florida.
He has experience helping people cope after trauma, handle anger, and move through substance use recovery. He has supported people facing parenting stress, intimacy-related problems, ADHD challenges, and mood concerns including bipolar disorder.
Lee’s style is collaborative and nonjudgmental. He focuses on building trust and on practical steps clients can use between sessions.
Expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and real-world homework when it fits your goals. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients.
He provides counseling through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online sessions
Lee integrates Gottman Method ideas to help people improve communication and reduce recurring conflicts in relationships. Gottman-informed techniques focus on concrete skills like turn-taking in conversations, rebuilding trust through small interactions, and managing criticism and defensiveness.He also uses attachment-based therapy to help people understand how early relational patterns influence current feelings and behavior. This approach can help people notice how they seek safety or pull away in close relationships and then practice new ways of connecting. Client-centered therapy is another core influence; it emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a supportive counseling relationship so clients can lead the work and set the pace.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, try methods that match your needs, and adjust as you learn what helps. Clients and therapist decide together which strategies to keep using.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and teaching exercises. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing check-ins, skill reminders, or quick coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue working on goals from wherever the client is located.
