My name is Alecis D. Lee, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years of experience in the mental health field. I bring a diverse and compassionate approach to therapy, shaped by my work across multiple settings—including emergency departments, substance use treatment programs, outpatient care, domestic violence services, inpatient psychiatric units, and medical social work. For the past 5 years, I have also maintained a private practice, supporting clients in reaching their goals through personalized, evidence-based care. I work with individuals across the lifespan—starting with children as young as 6, as well as teens, adults, older adults, couples, and families. My clinical style is rooted in meeting clients where they are, while offering compassionate support, accountability, and practical tools to foster meaningful and lasting change.
In our first session, clients are welcomed into a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental virtual space. Although we are meeting online, it is my intention to create an environment that feels safe, compassionate, and grounded. We will begin with a brief introduction, and I invite you to ask any questions you may have before we start the initial biopsychosocial assessment. This assessment helps me understand your history, current concerns, and goals for therapy. You are always encouraged to pause, ask for clarification, or share what feels comfortable at your own pace. My goal is to ensure that you feel seen, heard, and empowered from the very first session.
My strength as a therapist lies in my ability to meet clients where they are with empathy and non-judgment. I provide a supportive space while also challenging clients to work toward their desired goals. I emphasize accountability as a key part of the healing process and equip clients with practical, evidence-based tools to support lasting change and personal growth. My goal is to help each person feel seen, empowered, and capable of achieving meaningful progress.
If you’ve found your way here, you may be carrying more than you’d like to admit — stress, emotional overwhelm, relationship tension, or patterns you’re ready to change. I see you. And I want you to know you don’t have to navigate it all alone. With over 13 years of experience in mental health — including emergency departments, substance use treatment, domestic violence support, inpatient psychiatric care, and now 5 years in private practice — I’ve learned that real healing happens when you're met with both compassion and challenge. My approach combines warmth, honesty, and practical tools to help you move from surviving to truly thriving. Whether you're a teen struggling to find your voice, a parent feeling overwhelmed, a couple working to reconnect, or someone simply ready to grow — I’m here to walk alongside you. I work with children (ages 6+), teens, adults, older adults, couples, and families who are ready to do the work, reflect deeply, and make lasting change. I’ll meet you where you are, offer a safe space to be real, and guide you toward the life you want — one step, one session, one breakthrough at a time. Let’s begin.
As a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, I specialize in meeting clients exactly where they are—without judgment, and with deep compassion. I believe that healing begins with understanding, and I work collaboratively with individuals to explore thought patterns, identify emotional triggers, and shift behaviors that no longer serve them. Using evidence-based CBT techniques, I offer practical tools to help clients reduce distress, build emotional resilience, and return to a more balanced and functional place in their lives. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, my approach is supportive, goal-oriented, and rooted in the belief that meaningful change is always possible.
