About Lee

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 draws on that real-world perspective when supporting people who have faced workplace trauma. He offers warmth, directness, and clear expectations in sessions.

Dr. Look primarily uses cognitive and behavioral methods in his work. He helps people talk through anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and stress. He also supports those facing compassion fatigue, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem struggles, work changes, and career decisions. He notes experience with issues common to first responders and veterans.

Dr. Look can converse in sign language and has worked with an organization that supports individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. He says he aims to meet each person where they are and to keep the client in control of the therapy relationship.

Practical communication options are part of his practice. The biography mentions messaging, chat and video as comfortable ways he communicates. If you rely on clear, straightforward feedback and a practical plan for coping, his sessions tend to focus on actionable steps rather than long theoretical discussion.

Outside of clinical work he spent years as an artist, enjoys cooking, and has firsthand experience recovering from workplace burns. He frames therapy as a collaborative effort to share the load and work toward manageable change.

Step 3

Approaches and how online work can fit your life

Dr. Look primarily uses cognitive and behavioral approaches. Cognitive behavioral methods help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and depression. These approaches are often used for stress, low mood, and everyday coping skills.

He also draws on techniques commonly used for trauma-related concerns, helping people process distressing events and build skills for managing triggers and strong emotions. That work is practical and skills-focused, aiming to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.

Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will ask about your goals, symptoms, and preferences and suggest techniques that match those needs. Together you can try methods and adjust as you learn what helps most.

The biography mentions that he is comfortable with discreet messaging, chat, and video communication, but confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to maintain continuity of care after a hospital stay, during job changes, or when adjusting to new routines.
