About Lee

Lee Mikell is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. He brings 10 years of experience helping people facing relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, and parenting struggles. He also works with men who want focused support for life changes and emotional well-being.

He uses straightforward conversation to identify what is most important to each person. Sessions often focus on practical steps people can try between meetings, clearer communication skills, and ways to manage strong emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy are part of his approach, alongside client-centered methods that keep the person's goals in view.

Over his career he has worked with people affected by chronic mental health conditions that interfere with daily life. He has experience in settings connected to the child welfare system, supporting both parents and children. That work has included work related to divorce and reunification goals.

He has also worked with both criminal perpetrators and victims, which informs a trauma-focused perspective when safety and past harm are part of the story. This background helps him stay practical and grounded when addressing complex concerns like addiction, impulsivity, or issues around trust and intimacy.

People who meet with him can expect a focus on clear goals, hands-on strategies, and conversations that tackle shame, guilt, and life purpose. He speaks English and sees clients in Florida. To start, readers should confirm current session options before scheduling.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the person's lead. Online sessions using this approach focus on understanding what matters most and building goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with clear exercises and homework. Online CBT can include tracking patterns, practicing new skills, and reviewing progress between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to pick or blend methods that match each person's needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited as work progresses so the plan stays useful and relevant.

Session options are not listed in the biography, so confirm current formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or between obligations. It can also make shorter check-ins or focused skill-practice sessions more practical when time is limited. Licensed professionals adapt the format to the person's schedule and goals, helping therapy fit everyday routines rather than forcing big schedule changes.
