About Lee
Lee Watts is an LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) and an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 23 years of professional experience. He is licensed in Florida and Massachusetts and lists work with LGBT concerns and intimacy-related issues among his primary areas. He encourages people who are ready to make a change to take a first step and offers practical support along the way.
He starts from the view that each person knows their story best and brings strengths to use in sessions. Conversations focus on identifying those strengths and on small, doable steps forward. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-focused, with an emphasis on clear next actions rather than long theoretical discussion.
Lee also has experience addressing matters such as adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, blended family issues, cancer, caregiver stress, commitment and communication problems, and family of origin concerns. He has worked with issues connected to gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and hoarding.
Across his experience, he aims to help people manage practical problems and interpersonal strains. He talks through what is getting in the way and helps people test new ways of behaving. That may include setting small experiments between sessions and checking what did or did not work.
People who contact him will be asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. He notes that the act of asking for help is itself a useful step toward change.
Approaches and how online sessions are used
Lee works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach he uses emphasizes clear goals and behavioral experiments to test new ways of interacting; this helps when problems feel stuck and you want to try small steps that produce observable results. Another approach focuses on identifying personal strengths and using those strengths to address relationship and intimacy concerns; it helps people use what already works for them in daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Lee will discuss options and help decide which methods match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
