Lee Maxwell

Lee Maxwell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Georgia. He offers a steady, straightforward style and focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, and challenges related to identity and relationships. He approaches sessions with a calm, nonjudgmental manner meant to help people feel heard and understood.

Lee uses clear, practical steps to sort out what feels overwhelming. He listens first, then helps identify triggers and patterns. Together with clients he builds coping skills that can be tried between sessions and adjusted as needed.

With 17 years of clinical experience, Lee brings long-term practice in behavioral health to routine counseling work. His background includes work with aging and geriatric issues, caregiving stress, body image, and concerns around gender and sexual identity. He also addresses intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.

In sessions he draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create an accepting space, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking, and Motivational Interviewing to support steps toward change. Mindfulness and existential ideas also shape conversations about meaning, values, and coping.

Sessions generally last 30 to 45 minutes and are scheduled on the hour during weekday office hours. To begin, readers are encouraged to use the site’s Start Therapy process to match and schedule, and to ask any questions before booking.

How Lee’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on making space for a person to talk and be heard without judgment; this approach helps people feel understood and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers practical exercises to shift patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, or anger. Motivational Interviewing helps people identify their own reasons for change and supports small, achievable steps forward.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Lee works with each person to figure out which approach fits their needs and goals, and he adapts techniques as progress is made. This is a collaborative process focused on what the person wants to accomplish.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, require less travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Talk with the therapist about what works best for your routines and comfort so sessions fit into everyday life.
