About John
John Lee is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 22 years of experience in practice in Massachusetts. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, anger, and related concerns. John also addresses relationship and family issues, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, and LGBT matters.
He takes a client-centered, conversational approach that begins by building trust. Sessions focus on helping people name and express feelings and look at how those feelings affect daily life. The goal is practical change in the present and habits that hold up over time.
John blends several approaches in sessions. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy methods help people notice feelings without getting swept up by them.
Attachment-based ideas inform work on communication and relationship patterns. That can be useful for clients who struggle with trust, control issues, or recurring conflict. Motivational interviewing supports people working through addiction or making life changes.
He describes his style as calm and conversational. People who prefer a straightforward, respectful discussion and practical tools tend to fit his way of working. The focus is on clear steps and real-life coping skills rather than jargon or long explanations.
How his approaches translate to online work
John uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match their values. ACT can help with anger that is driven by avoidance or rigid rules. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and change behaviors that keep problems going, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger management.Attachment-based ideas are part of his work when communication and trust are central concerns. These ideas help people see how past relationship patterns shape responses today and support new ways of relating. Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences, adjusting as work progresses.
