Lee Mikell, LMHC

Lee Mikell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 10 years of professional experience. He focuses on relationship concerns and related struggles like intimacy, trauma, and parenting. Lee aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people feeling overwhelmed.

He uses an approachable style that centers the client's perspective. Sessions often start by listening to what matters most and setting clear, short-term goals. Lee combines steady support with tools people can try between meetings to see real change in day-to-day life.

Lee has worked with situations that disrupt daily functioning, including chronic mental health challenges and the effects of trauma. He also has experience in contexts involving the child welfare system and both victims and people who have committed crimes. This background informs how he talks about safety, boundaries, and rebuilding trust.

Parents who are navigating divorce, reunification, or fatherhood issues may find his practical focus useful. He also supports people dealing with addiction, sleep problems, low self-esteem, career shifts, or burnout and compassion fatigue. Conversations address both immediate coping and longer-term patterns.

Lee blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques. He helps people identify the changes they want and build simple steps toward them, while addressing trauma when it is part of the story.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a strong working relationship. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what is said, and helps people clarify their goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions; it teaches skills to shift unhelpful patterns and is often used for depression, anxiety, sleep issues, and behavior change.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lee will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. This is a collaborative effort that may combine listening-based support with skill-building and short-term problem solving.

If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people try exercises in the moment where they live and practice new steps between sessions, while keeping the focus on practical, goal-driven work.
