Lee Mikell, LMHC

Lee Mikell is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on thoughts and everyday habits that shape daily life. He brings 10 years of experience working with people who face relationship strains, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and issues like depression and addictions.

Lee uses straightforward conversation to help people unpack what they think and do each day. He pays attention to how patterns of thought and routine keep problems going, and works with clients to try new responses that feel realistic and doable.

Over his career he has worked in settings that include child welfare, criminal justice contexts, and divorce and reunification situations. That background gives him practical experience with parents, victims, and people involved in legal processes, and informs how he approaches safety and practical planning in sessions.

His approach draws from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused work, and trauma-focused methods. In practice this often means listening first, identifying unhelpful thinking or habits, testing small changes, and focusing on immediate goals that matter to the person sitting across from him.

Lee sees engagement as a collaboration. He helps people set short-term goals, track small wins, and adjust plans if something does not fit. He works in English and provides services in Florida.

Approaches that inform online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful working relationship, helping people feel heard while they think through problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and uses simple experiments to change unhelpful patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on responses to traumatic events and helps people reduce the ways trauma shows up in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That may mean starting with listening and practical goal-setting, then adding CBT techniques or trauma-focused strategies as needed.

Please confirm which online session options are offered before booking, since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a weekday break. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to work by remote appointment once the session format is confirmed.
