About Tony
Tony Lee is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns.
Background and approach
He brings attention to issues such as compassion fatigue, self-esteem, career transitions, and coping with life changes while also addressing a broader set of challenges including aging and geriatric concerns, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, and immigration-related stress. His work blends client-centered listening with practical, evidence-informed tools.
Tony draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and narrative and solution-focused ideas to create tailored plans that match a client’s goals. He aims to combine empathy with actionable strategies so clients can build clearer thinking patterns, better communication, and day-to-day coping skills.
Practicing in the District of Columbia, Tony has three years of clinical experience and offers sessions in English. He provides several remote formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Approaches for Online Change and Coping
Tony integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress; interventions often include skill-building, behavioral experiments, and structured exercises. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore values, emotions, and personal priorities while the therapist mirrors and supports the client’s own goals.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tony works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals and will adapt techniques over time so treatment feels personally meaningful and practically useful. He aims to match interventions to what a client wants to accomplish rather than applying a single method rigidly.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and for communicating in ways that fit daily life. These options can make it easier to maintain consistency in therapy, try brief check-ins between sessions, and apply skills in real-world moments while still receiving guidance from a licensed professional.
