About Lee

Lee Mikell integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered and solution-focused perspectives to help people address relationship struggles, trauma, and parenting challenges. He is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida with 10 years of professional experience.

Background and approach

Lee draws on practical techniques to address patterns that interfere with daily functioning and to support clearer communication and healthier boundaries. His background includes work with chronic mental health conditions that disrupt life activities, involvement in child welfare cases supporting both parents and children, and clinical contact with people who have been criminal perpetrators or victims.

He has also supported clients through divorce-related processes and reunification goals, and he brings experience with intimacy-related concerns, addictions, sleeping problems, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with life changes. Lee holds an MA and is credentialed as LMHC with registration numbers MA LMHC LMHC10001408 and FL LMHC MH13863, and he practices in Florida offering a collaborative, goal-oriented approach.

Approach-Focused Online Care for Relationship and Trauma Concerns



Lee commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which examines how thoughts and behaviors interact and uses practical strategies to reduce symptoms and change unhelpful patterns, often helpful for depression, anxiety, and habit-related concerns. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, a supportive approach that emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration so clients can explore goals at their own pace and build self-understanding. When trauma is central, elements of Trauma-Focused Therapy are applied to gently process past events and reduce their ongoing impact on everyday life.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to identify needs, goals, and preferences, then adapts techniques so the work fits the individual rather than fitting the person to a single method.

Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend regularly, try shorter check-ins, or work through issues from home while keeping therapy accessible across changing life demands.
