Dr. Lee Look, LPP

Dr. Lee Look is a Licensed Psychological Practitioner (LPP) with a PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Louisville and ten years of professional experience. He also serves as a professional firefighter and brings over 20 years of firefighting experience to his work. He works with people managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, compassion fatigue, and anger.

He primarily uses cognitive and behavioral approaches in sessions. That means he focuses on how thoughts and behaviors interact and what small changes can reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day functioning. He is comfortable using messaging, chat, and video for contact, and he can converse in sign language when needed.

His firefighter background gives him direct knowledge of workplace trauma and first responder issues. He also has experience supporting people dealing with post-traumatic stress, depression, grief, and loss. He has worked with organizations that support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and lists additional focus areas such as aging and geriatric issues and communication problems.

In sessions he emphasizes client control over the counseling relationship and prefers an approach that keeps the person involved in decisions about care. He aims to reduce the sense of overwhelm by breaking problems into manageable steps and talking through practical strategies for responding differently when anger or strong emotions arise.

Outside of clinical work he spent years as an artist, enjoys cooking, and notes a long-standing interest in singing. He values direct effort from people who decide to seek help and aims to make the work readable and actionable.
