Lee Mikell, LMHC

Lee Mikell is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on relationship and trauma-related concerns. He draws on a decade of clinical experience to help people manage depression, intimacy challenges, addiction-related problems, and parenting stress. Lee works in Florida and provides help in English.

He uses clear, straightforward methods in sessions. Lee often begins by listening closely to what matters most to the person sitting across from him. From there he blends client-centered conversations with practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also uses solution-focused steps to set short-term goals and trauma-focused approaches when past harm is central to the problem.

Lee’s background includes work with people affected by chronic mental health challenges that disrupt daily life. He has experience with both people involved in the child welfare system and with individuals who have been criminal victims or perpetrators. That history informs his approach to safety, boundaries, and rebuilding trust.

Sessions often address common but painful issues such as abandonment, attachment struggles, guilt, shame, and communication breakdowns. He also supports people facing career questions, caregiving stress, and compassion fatigue. Practical coping skills and clear goal setting are regular parts of his work.

Clients can expect straightforward, task-focused conversations that aim to produce usable changes. Lee asks about daily routines, relationships, and what gets in the way of feeling better. He then helps plan small steps people can try between sessions.

Using client-centered and trauma-focused work online

Client-Centered Therapy puts your goals and experience first. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and helping you name what matters. This approach helps when people need a space to sort feelings, clarify values, or regain direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps you notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then practice small changes. It is useful for depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and day-to-day coping. Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how past harm affects current relationships and reactions, and it includes paced steps to reduce the hold of traumatic memories.

Finding the best fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, preferences, and immediate needs and then suggest which approach to use or combine. You and the therapist will adjust the plan together as you learn what works.

Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It can also allow people to choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera when that helps them engage. Licensed professionals commonly use these practical benefits to help therapy fit everyday routines.
