Lee Schlanger is a Florida-based mental health counselor practicing in Sarasota after time living in New York City. He brings a warm, approachable manner to his work and blends practical support with empathetic connection.
Lee is licensed in Florida as a Mental Health Counselor and holds board certification to provide tele-mental health services, making video and remote sessions a regular part of his practice. He has five years of professional experience and has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family conflicts, intimacy-related and parenting concerns, anger management, self-esteem issues, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and provides coaching support as well.
Sessions with Lee focus first on building a trusting connection and addressing immediate symptoms. He approaches therapy collaboratively and nonjudgmentally, helping clients process emotions and explore underlying causes of their distress. Lee values emotional processing and authentic connection as central components of healing.
He aims to offer a supportive counseling relationship grounded in mutual respect, validation, and collaboration, and he is committed to holding clients in high regard throughout the therapeutic process.
For many common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or adapting to life transitions - remote therapy can be an effective alternative to in-person care. Research and practice indicate that, for these types of issues, virtual sessions often produce outcomes comparable to traditional face-to-face therapy.
One of the clearest benefits is flexibility. Clients can choose the format that fits their routine and comfort level - video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to maintain continuity of care amid busy schedules.
All therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and you have the option to change providers if you feel a different fit would better meet your needs.
Ultimately, online therapy can provide accessible, regular support for many everyday mental health concerns while allowing clients to engage in treatment in ways that align with their lives.
