Lee Schlanger, LMHC

Lee Schlanger is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with five years of experience. He focuses on people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addiction, and relationship strain. Lee aims to build a warm, collaborative connection and to begin by addressing the most pressing concerns a person brings to therapy.

Lee keeps sessions straightforward and centered on emotional work. He listens without judgment and helps people name and process painful feelings. He uses this connection to look for patterns that keep problems repeating and to test new ways of responding.

His background includes work with substance abuse recovery, anger management, and grief after loss. He also has experience helping people with family and relationship conflicts, intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, and caregiver stress. Lee has practiced since 2017 and brings that practical experience to each session.

Therapeutic work with him often draws on attachment ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavior strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, and emotionally focused tools. Sessions emphasize emotional processing, skills for managing distress, and clearer communication. Lee describes his role as supportive and collaborative rather than prescriptive.

He accepts clients in English and is based in Florida. If someone is considering starting, Lee asks people to think about their main goals and be ready to share what feels hardest right now. That helps shape the first steps of the work together.

How Lee uses attachment and skills work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connections shape current relationships. It helps people notice patterns in how they relate, feel understood, and practice new ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build more effective coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and expressing core emotions to improve closeness and communication in important relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lee will work collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person’s needs and goals. He often combines listening, emotional processing, and practical skills so the work matches what each person wants to change.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats here, so please confirm the current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to schedule sessions around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice communication and emotion skills where they live, then bring those experiences back into sessions for discussion and adjustment.
