About Lee

Lee Mikell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with ten years of clinical experience. He focuses on relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting questions, and related struggles like addiction, sleep problems, and low self-esteem. Lee aims to help people untangle painful patterns and find clearer ways forward.

He uses straightforward talk and practical steps in sessions. He draws on client-centered work to follow each person's priorities and CBT to identify thoughts and habits that keep problems going. Solution-focused strategies help set short-term goals and build momentum.

Much of his background includes work with people affected by chronic mental health problems that interfere with daily life. He has experience in child welfare contexts alongside parents and children, and with both perpetrators and victims involved in the criminal justice system. Divorce and reunification work have also been part of his caseload.

In sessions, Lee typically helps people sort through relationship conflicts, attachment concerns, and issues tied to abandonment or control. He also addresses caregiving stress, fatherhood questions, and men's issues in concrete terms. Expect an emphasis on practical tools, clearer communication, and steps you can try between meetings.

He holds a Master of Arts and practices as an LMHC in Florida. Sessions are conducted in English. Prospective clients should use the site matching process to connect and schedule based on availability.

Approaches that guide online work and what they do

Lee draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person's experience and goals. This approach means sessions begin by listening to what matters most and shaping the work around those priorities. It is useful when someone needs a safe space to sort feelings and decide what to try next.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another staple. CBT helps identify thoughts and behaviors that maintain problems and replaces them with clearer, more effective patterns. This approach often helps with depression, anxiety, sleep issues, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods fit best based on a client's needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean blending client-centered listening with CBT exercises and solution-focused goal-setting over time.

For practical matters, confirm the session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find online work helpful because it can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick touchpoint is what’s needed. Discussing how sessions will fit into everyday life is a routine part of the first meetings so arrangements match the client's routine and goals.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
