About Lee

Lee Maxwell offers support to adults facing stress, anxiety, life transitions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues related to substance use and self-esteem. He also works with clients dealing with compassion fatigue, eating and anger problems, and a range of concerns tied to gender identity and LGBT experiences.

Background and approach

Based in Georgia, he brings 17 years of professional experience to his counseling practice and holds LCSW and CSW credentials. His approach is straightforward and down-to-earth, emphasizing respect and meeting clients where they are in their process.

He helps people recognize emotional and behavioral patterns, identify triggers, and develop practical coping skills. He draws on a mix of methods including cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered listening, existential reflection, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to tailor work to each person’s goals.

Sessions are scheduled within weekday hours and use flexible online formats. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to begin, and therapy is arranged according to therapist availability and a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Lee Maxwell uses cognitive behavioral tools to help clients notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and habit changes. He also draws on client-centered therapy, offering empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard while they set goals and explore their values. Existential therapy appears in his work as a way to examine meaning, responsibility, and life transitions that may accompany aging, identity questions, or other major changes.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to blend methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing a single path. Together they identify what techniques resonate and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats include video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and for how people prefer to communicate. These options make it easier to continue work during life changes and to access consistent support from a licensed professional without needing in-person visits.
