About John
John Lee is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts with 22 years of practice. He focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, parenting, ADHD, and blended family issues.
John favors a straightforward, conversational style. He starts by building trust and making space for the client to name what matters. Sessions tend to be collaborative talks where goals are set together and progress is reviewed over time.
He uses a mix of approaches that include cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance-based strategies, attachment-focused work, client-centered methods, and mindfulness. That mix is used to address thinking patterns, emotional responses, and everyday coping skills. The aim is practical change rather than labels or long lists of techniques.
People who come to him often want concrete ways to manage anxiety, deal with changes in family life, or sort through feelings after loss or breakup. He can help with substance use concerns and challenges that come from complex or overlapping issues.
Sessions are described in plain terms and focus on problem solving, skill-building, and clearer communication. John encourages straightforward conversation about parenting, co-parenting, and the stresses that arise when households merge or roles shift. He works with adults and accepts international clients who want to meet with a Massachusetts-based LICSW.
Approaches that can be used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It helps people clarify values and take committed action toward what matters, which can be useful when family roles are changing.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It teaches specific skills for reducing anxiety, improving mood, and changing unhelpful habits over time.
Mindfulness practice is used alongside other methods to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Simple breathing and attention exercises often become short tools people use between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and the practical demands of everyday life. Sessions may mix techniques and shift focus as needs change.
