About Lee
Lee Mikell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with ten years of experience. He focuses on helping people sort through relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, and sleep and rest problems. His approach is direct and practical, aimed at making therapy useful in day-to-day life.
He uses straightforward conversations to identify what matters most to each person. Sessions often focus on concrete steps for improving communication, managing strong emotions, and addressing patterns that get in the way of rest and recovery. He draws on client-centered work to keep the client's priorities central and on cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Lee's background includes working with people in the child welfare system, both parents and children, and supporting those involved in criminal justice settings as victims or perpetrators. He has also worked with clients during divorce and reunification processes. That range informs his work with complex life transitions and safety-related concerns.
In practice he offers coaching-style support alongside therapy to help people meet personal and career goals. He helps clients recognize small, achievable changes that build better routines and improved sleep over time. Lee keeps sessions focused and practical, helping people take steps between meetings.
Therapy with him is goal-oriented and collaborative. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking to ensure they match personal needs.
How Lee’s Approaches Shape Online Work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's own goals and values. In practice this means sessions begin by listening closely and letting the person's priorities guide the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building, which can help with sleep problems, anxiety, and mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impacts of traumatic experiences by building safety, pacing exposure work, and teaching coping skills to reduce distress.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about what they want to change and why, and together they will try methods that fit the client's needs and preferences. Goals and techniques can be adjusted as progress is made or as life circumstances shift.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, cut down travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that works better. It also supports working on routines and sleep strategies between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt the approaches above to suit remote work, and the therapist will discuss what will be most useful for each person.
