Hello! Welcome to Betterhelp! My name is Lee Maxwell. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker; practicing in Atlanta, Georgia (US). First off, I would like to applaud your initial steps in reaching out for support. Life can be incredibly challenging for all of us. And, I know that it isn’t always easy to ask for help. I’ve been professionally licensed in the state of Georgia since 2009; with an overall 23 years of experience in behavioral health services; 14 of those years, specifically focused on providing counseling services. My specialty areas include assisting with more effectively managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, geriatric-specific challenges (transitions into long-term care, increased challenges with both physical and cognitive deficits, role changes with family, etc.), as well as LGBTQ+-related challenges such as navigating the coming-out process and resolving unpleasant responses from the experience. My take on the therapeutic process is simple; treat others as I would want to be treated. I believe in meeting each person where they are in their process of improving their quality of life; providing consistent support throughout one’s time while engaged in the therapeutic process. If you choose me as your therapist, here is what you can expect: A down-to-earth, non-judgmental approach, where trust is developed and nurtured as we explore and process thoughts and feelings; while also learning to identify triggers, emotional and behavioral patterns, as well as learning healthy coping tools. Once you’ve had a chance to review my profile information, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. My office hours are Monday - Thursday; 10am - 5pm. Sessions are scheduled on the hour and typically last 30-45 minutes. Please note that I check messages twice daily; Monday - Friday. Any messages received over the weekend will be addressed on the following Monday. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey of self-discovery and resolution.

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 allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Lee is not only a great therapist, but a great person. I am glad I was matched with him.
Lee is incredibly kind, caring, respectful and always willing and able to meet me exactly where I am. He helped me discover that therapy is more than just working on your mental health, but discovering more about why you think and feel the way that you do. I can't recommend him highly enough!
Lee Maxwell is amazing.
Lee is a fantastic listener, a caring therapist, who is absolutely invested in the well being of his clients, works tirelessly to understand their situation, as well as provide valuable, practical, and applicable analysis on how to move forward.
Professional and knowledgeable
Lee has been a stable, helpful ally and confidant. He has been consistent in stressing my need for additional help. He has helped me get through 2 of my total 5 worst events in my life and I owe my life in part to his help and guidance. I would warmly recommend Lee to anyone; friend, family, strangers. Yes, I STRONGLY recommend Lee. If you are even thinking about using THIS BetterHelp therapist, do not hesitate. Act now before it gets harder. I would give a survey of Lee more praise than any form of psychotherapy I've ever had. Lee saved my life. I will be in his debt for the rest of my life.
I wish I had met Lee Maxwell 50 years ago or someone like him since he wouldn’t have been born then. I have had many therapists over the years but none like Lee. He is truly sensitive to my situation and is keenly aware of my feelings. I appreciate Lee so much.
He helped me through some very difficult times. Thank you Lee
Lee was very knowledgeable and helpful in guiding me towards a better life for myself.
A knowledgeable individual
Amazing
I'm thrilled with Lee
Lee is the first therapist I've worked with that has provided real world tools for making progress on my journey of self growth. He has helped me gain renewed confidence to push on.
Lee has helped me tremendously in a very difficult time in my life. I would recommend him to anyone.
Lee’s agenda has been to meet me where I am at and to address issues in small, manageable ways. He has perfectly balanced listening and speaking. When he injects into the conversation, it is surgical.
Lee Maxwell is great. I have had several therepist during my life time and Lee is the only one that has actually listened to me. Since he deals with LBGTQ issues he can talk the talk. Lee without a doubt has been the best therapist i have ever had. I would recommend him to anyone. I couldnt't have picked a better one myself. I am so glad that i saw the ad on tv and decided to give it a try. A very good decision. I have told my primary doctor about it and he seemed intrigued. It is nice to be able to meet with my therapist every week. The local people are booked 6-8 weeks out . I have recommended BetterHelp to several people. Thanks Lee for all you have done for me and really listening to me.
Respectful, insightful, an always has an open ear
Great listener and resource
