I’ve been working with Dr. Lee for a few years and she really goes the extra mile. She has helped me cope with various difficult situations. I didn’t think I could ever open up to anyone but talking to her is easy. She is so knowledgeable, empathetic and supportive.

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist in the state of Florida with 25 years of experience, working with clients with depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, bereavement issues, issues of sexuality, ADHD, and job-related problems. I have experience working with incarcerated populations, and have helped people cope with the isolation and separation involved, with dealing with the emotional and physical abuse in their past, and with transitioning back into open society. I believe in treating each client with warmth and respect, and value each person for their own individuality. My style combines Cognitive Behavioral. Humanistic, and Solution-Focused therapies, and is always directed by the specific needs of my clients. I respect those that have the courage to address their issues and look forward to supporting and empowering you to make the changes needed for a fuller and happier life. Because I am licensed in Florida, all online therapy, by law, must be video. If you have a problem with this, please click on the upper right hand corner of your page and choose change therapist.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
