About Lee

Dr. Lee Look is a Licensed Psychological Practitioner (LPP) with a PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Louisville. He brings a decade of clinical experience and practical knowledge gained as a professional firefighter.

He uses plain, direct communication and prefers formats like messaging, chat, phone, and video to fit busy lives. He primarily uses cognitive and behavioral techniques to help people manage anxiety, depression, and stress. He has particular experience with trauma and post-traumatic stress, including trauma from workplace incidents.

Background and approach

He also supports people coping with grief, relationship or intimacy concerns, career stress, and compassion fatigue. His background includes assessment training and work with an organization that serves individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. He can converse in sign language when needed.

He mentions lived experience with workplace injury, which informs his understanding of first responder issues. In sessions he aims to meet clients where they are and to keep them in control of the therapy process. He emphasizes straightforward collaboration so people can feel able to be vulnerable without losing agency.

Outside of clinical work he has a longtime interest in art, enjoys cooking, and wishes he could sing. Those personal interests inform a warm, human approach to therapy and a focus on practical coping steps.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Dr. Look most often uses cognitive behavioral techniques, which focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. These methods are practical and lend themselves to homework and skill practice between sessions.

He also draws on trauma-informed strategies to help people stabilize after upsetting events and to build coping skills for intrusive memories or heightened arousal. That work emphasizes pacing and safety while teaching breathing, grounding, and gradual exposure when appropriate.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will discuss goals, preferences, and how much structure someone wants, then try methods that match those needs. Adjustments are made based on what helps in real life rather than on theory alone.

Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Those options make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life and to keep continuity when schedules are unpredictable. Messaging and chat can be useful for brief check-ins or skills practice, while video calls allow for more in-depth conversation and assessment.
