About Lee

Lee Mikell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida who brings 10 years of clinical experience to conversations about parenting and relationships. He focuses on helping people navigate relationship stress, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, and parenting challenges. Lee aims to make sessions straightforward and practical so parents can find workable steps between appointments.

He uses a mix of client-centered and evidence-informed strategies to guide conversations. That means he listens for what matters most to each person, then helps shape small, achievable changes.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors that reduce stress and improve sleep, mood, or coping. Lee's background includes work with people involved in the child welfare system and situations that involve both perpetrators and victims of crime. He has also supported people through divorce-related processes and reunification goals.

This experience informs his approach to parenting concerns and difficult life changes. Sessions commonly focus on clear, practical goals such as improving communication, managing emotions, reducing substance use triggers, or building routines that help sleep and daily functioning. He also addresses issues like shame, guilt, impulsivity, and problems with attachment in straightforward terms.

People who work with Lee can expect a collaborative style that prioritizes each person's priorities and pace. He integrates solution-focused methods to identify immediate next steps while keeping longer-term goals in view.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting and relationship support

Lee commonly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral and solution-focused methods. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following each person's priorities, creating space for parents to say what matters and set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors that can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and help with sleep and impulse control. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical next steps and small changes that can make a noticeable difference between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before. Together they decide which methods to start with and adjust the plan as progress is made or new issues arise.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow sessions to fit around work and family life. Video supports face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging can help maintain momentum with brief reflections and reminders between sessions.
