About Lee
Lee Schlanger is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with five years of clinical experience. He helps people managing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addiction, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting strains, and attention-related challenges. Lee also addresses anger, self-esteem, bipolar concerns, and life transitions.
Lee frames sessions around emotional connection and clear goals. He starts by identifying the main problem a person wants to address. Sessions focus on naming feelings, tracking how they show up, and finding practical ways to respond differently.
His approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy along with attachment-focused ideas, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral tools, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy. That mix is used to help people understand patterns that keep them stuck and to practice new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Lee has experience supporting people in substance abuse recovery, grief work, anger management, and those coping with past trauma and abuse. He has also worked with people on family of origin issues, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and commitment problems, and fatherhood concerns.
Lee lives in Florida and offers tele-mental health services as part of his practice. Sessions are presented with an emphasis on collaboration, emotional processing, and practical coping skills. To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and naming emotions, then using those feelings to change unhelpful interaction patterns. It is often used when people want to shift recurring emotional responses or repair strained interactions.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people recognize attachment responses and develop more flexible ways of relating to others and to their own emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lee will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust as needs evolve.
