Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Lee often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers conversations on the person’s own goals and experiences and offers acceptance and understanding while people talk through their concerns. He also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify and change thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or unhealthy habits. Existential Therapy appears in his work when people are wrestling with life meaning, transitions, or major role changes; it supports reflection on values and choices.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Lee will work together with each person to decide which methods feel most useful, trying different techniques as needs and goals become clearer. The process is collaborative and adjusts over time to match progress and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video offers face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, scheduling, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and across different schedules.
