More about Lee

  • 21 years' experience
  • Male
  • LICSW

I am a clinical social worker licensed in Massachusetts with over 20 years of experience helping people improve their mental health and wellbeing. I worked as an Army Mental Health Specialist from 2001 to 2009, helping service members and their families in the US and overseas. I then worked for eight years as a Mental Health Intensive Case Manager with the Veterans Affairs Healthcare systems in Massachusetts and Hawaii. After four years as a responder on the Veterans and Military Crisis Line, I moved solely to private practice. Through these experiences, I have not only gained expertise helping service members, but also a deep understanding of many mental health concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family problems, career challenges, and trauma. I have a deep empathy for folks from all walks of life and believe in the power of setting goals in therapy to improve one's experience.

My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion and I also have a sense of humor. My therapy approach combines cognitive-behavior mindfulness and a focus on goals and solutions.

Although your life challenges are unique, there is truly nothing new under the sun and you are not alone. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
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, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Lee is absolutely amazing! He actually listens and responds with intelligence, care, and all of the above. I couldn’t have asked for a better match. Especially being former military. He has an understanding that I know I need. He’s also very easy to talk to, and he will tell you how it is in a way that helps you to understand. Most highly recommend. Only if the VA could hire more therapists like him lol.

Reviewed June 2023

I’ve been to therapy on and off for the past 5 years. I almost lost faith in it because I was never able to find a therapist I felt comfortable sharing with. Lee was the first therapist I consistently returned to. I look forward to continuing my meetings with him and can’t recommend him enough.

Reviewed March 2023

Lee is a great therapist to talk to! He’s a wonderful listener and exudes warmth in his manner and communication skills.

I’ve been to therapy many times before and never felt like I was able to connect with anyone. This is the best experience I’ve had by far and it motivates me to keep coming back.
