Tony has a very kind demeanor. He is genuinely interested in me as an individual and wants to help me resolve my issues. His nature is very caring.

I really enjoy talking with Tony - he leaves me space to explore my own feelings and examine them, but also reorients me and helps me see connections and patterns that I otherwise might shy away from. I'm a more joyful, balanced person because of the time I've spent with him.

LICSW, LCSW

Hello. My name is Tony Lee. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of professional work experience, including suicide prevention service, crisis intervention, and general counseling. I received a master’s degree in Social Work from the University of South Florida.

I have worked with individuals of all ages dealing with chronic medical conditions, end-stage illnesses, and physical disabilities. Also, I have experience helping clients with general stress, anxiety, self-esteem/self-confidence, motivation, coping with loss/grief, and LGBT-related issues. I use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy with Client-Centered and Solution-Focused approach. If you're interested in mindfulness techniques, I can guide your practice.

I believe in treating everyone with respect, empathy, and compassion. I will tailor the treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs while being mindful of cultural values.

Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, and I am proud of you for getting started!

About online counseling

Affordable.: Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.: There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Tony has a very kind demeanor. He is genuinely interested in me as an individual and wants to help me resolve my issues. His nature is very caring.

First therapist I have had that truly has helped me build new skills for navigating my internal and external world in healthier ways!

Tony Lee is an excellent professional therapist. He’s clearly experienced, very non-judgmental, relatable, and helpful. I really feel as though he’s focused on helping me work on improving how I perceive myself and the world around me, and I think his approach is very positive.

Tony is fantastic at guiding you through the process. He's empathetic, listens, and is able to break down the practice of therapy in a manner that's easy to digest. You can really tell how much he cares when he talks to you.

Tony is compassionate and wise. He has been able to guide me to the core of my sticking points in life, time and time again. He has been the best therapist I’ve ever had!

Best person to talk to.

Tony Lee is truly one of the most understanding and empathetic therapists I’ve ever worked with. He takes the time to allow you to express your concerns in length, all while attentively and actively listening to every word. Not only does he display compassion towards his clients but also challenges to push past their hardships. Never pushing to a place of discomfort, but as a way to help you grow and gain a deeper perspective of the problem at hand. I appreciate his dedication to his work, he truly cares for all of his clients. I would recommend anyone looking for an attentive, empathetic, and skilled therapist to reach out to Tony Lee!

Extremely easy to talk too. Very helpful with included exercises to look into outside of sessions. Strongly recommend Tony.

Tony is a great listener, but on top offers practical advice that helps you to start addressing your issues
