About Lee
Lee Mikell is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 10 years of professional experience. He focuses on practical, goal-oriented help for people facing relationship stress, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and career questions.
Clients come to him for many reasons, including depression, trouble sleeping, low self-esteem, and coping with major life changes. He also supports people dealing with addictions, compassion fatigue, and the aftermath of infidelity or abandonment. Sessions aim to clarify problems and map small, doable steps forward.
Lee draws on client-centered principles to prioritize each person’s needs and preferences. He combines that with cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking and with solution-focused strategies to build on what already works. When trauma is central, trauma-focused methods are used to address its effects on daily life.
His background includes work with chronic mental health conditions that interfere with daily activities. He has experience within the child welfare system supporting parents and children, and has worked with both criminal perpetrators and victims. He has also supported people through divorce processes and related reunification goals.
In sessions, Lee typically helps people talk through specific problems, practice new skills, and set realistic goals. He encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes, and adapts plans as needs change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and guides conversations about values, goals, and next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is useful for addressing depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and unhelpful behavior by teaching practical skills and small experiments.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on what is already working and builds short-term goals to move forward. It is often used when people want clear, achievable changes in everyday routines or relationships.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, preferences, and goals, then suggest which methods to try first. Plans are reviewed and adjusted over time to match progress and changing priorities.
Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or avoid being on camera when that feels uncomfortable. Licensed professionals can use online work to help people practice new skills between sessions and stay focused on achievable goals.
