About Lee
Lee Maxwell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Georgia. He brings 17 years of clinical experience focused on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, addiction concerns, and self-esteem struggles. He uses a calm, down-to-earth approach to help people talk through difficult moments and build practical coping skills.
Lee centers sessions on listening first and then helping people identify patterns and triggers. He offers straightforward tools for managing emotions and improving relationships.
Background and approach
Sessions typically run 30 to 45 minutes on the hour during his listed office hours Monday through Thursday. His approach blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. That means conversations are tailored to each person, while also including exercises to shift thoughts and body-based strategies to reduce tension.
Motivational interviewing is used when people are weighing change or feeling stuck. Lee has worked in behavioral health for many years and has particular experience with LGBTQ concerns, aging and geriatric transitions, caregiver stress, grief and hospice-related issues, and isolation or loneliness. He also supports people dealing with body image, intimacy-related problems, codependency, and communication difficulties.
Sessions can be scheduled by completing a short matching questionnaire and booking according to his availability. Therapy is offered in English and delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How approach and online care fit together
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience without judgment. It helps people feel heard and supported while they decide what changes matter to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms of anxiety, anger, and low mood.
Mindfulness Therapy encourages simple awareness of thoughts and bodily sensations. It can reduce reactivity and help with stress, compulsive behavior, and managing strong emotions.
Finding the best mix of approaches is part of the work. Lee will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. He adapts techniques over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility so people can use the formats that suit their schedule and daily routine.
