About Lee
Lee Maxwell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Georgia with 17 years of clinical experience. He works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, LGBT-related concerns, addictions, intimacy issues, eating problems, anger, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and feelings of guilt and shame.
Lee uses a straightforward, down-to-earth approach in sessions. He focuses on listening, helping clients name triggers, and identifying thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress. He offers practical coping tools and skill-building so people can try new ways of responding between sessions.
He frames therapy around respect and clear communication. Sessions are used to talk through difficult memories, current problems, and decisions that feel stuck. Lee also helps people facing aging and geriatric transitions, caregiver stress, body image and issues that come from family of origin patterns.
His clinical work draws on client-centered ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, existential questions about meaning, and motivational interviewing to support change. Those approaches guide how topics are discussed and how strategies are chosen.
Sessions are scheduled during weekday hours and are typically 30 to 45 minutes. Lee checks messages twice on weekdays and replies to messages received over the weekend the following Monday. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How his approaches translate to online work
Lee blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness exercises when working with common problems like anxiety, guilt, or life transitions. Client-centered work means the therapist focuses on the person's experience and priorities to guide what comes next. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at thought patterns and behaviors to create small, testable changes that reduce distress. Mindfulness practices teach attention and grounding skills to calm strong emotions and interrupt automatic reactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative work. Lee will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Then he adapts which methods to try and checks in to see what helps over time.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work or caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. A therapist and client can decide together whether sessions should focus on skill practice, problem-solving, or deeper exploration depending on what the person needs.
