Lee Maxwell, LCSW, CSW

Lee Maxwell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and identity concerns. He uses a straightforward, down-to-earth style and aims to make the first steps easier for someone reaching out for support.

He brings 17 years of experience in counseling work and practices in Georgia. Lee focuses on practical problem-solving, helping people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of reacting. He works with issues like addiction, eating and body image worries, anger, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.

Lee also supports clients dealing with life transitions, aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver strain, hospice and end-of-life matters, and the challenges that come from family of origin and communication problems. He offers help around gender dysphoria, LGBT-related difficulties, HIV/AIDS, and concerns about intimacy and codependency.

His approach mixes client-centered listening with techniques to change thoughts and behaviors. Sessions usually include exploring feelings, identifying triggers, and practicing coping tools that can be used between meetings. He schedules sessions on the hour and typically meets for 30 to 45 minutes.

Lee values respect and consistent support. He checks messages twice a day on weekdays and responds to weekend messages the following Monday. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time to meet.

Approaches that fit online therapy

Lee commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy when working with people online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test different responses to reduce distress and change behavior. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building trust so people feel heard and can explore their concerns at their own pace.

Finding the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt techniques as progress is made. That way treatment stays collaborative and responsive to changing needs.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls make it easier to read facial cues, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing, and all options help fit therapy into a busy schedule.
