About Lee

Lee Schlanger is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who brings five years of clinical experience to work with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, depression, anger, self-esteem concerns, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and related issues.

Background and approach

He approaches each person with warmth and a nonjudgmental presence, focusing first on establishing a trusting connection and identifying the most pressing symptoms to address. Sessions emphasize emotional processing and collaborative exploration of underlying causes, guided by techniques from attachment-based, client-centered, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, and emotionally-focused therapies.

Lee frames therapy as a partnership in which the therapeutic relationship itself supports healing, and he aims to help clients process distressing feelings while building coping skills and clearer communication. He accepts international clients and practices from Florida, offering multiple remote session formats and a subscription-based scheduling model that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes emotional bonds and how early relationships influence present patterns; it helps clients explore connection, abandonment or attachment concerns and how those patterns show up in current relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and building practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, or stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and express underlying emotions to improve closeness and repair relational rifts.

Choosing the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and may blend approaches over time so treatment fits each person’s situation rather than forcing a single model from the outset.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care from Florida or from abroad and to integrate therapy into daily life while using the therapeutic methods described above.
