Lee Ann has been a huge help to my growing process. She gives it to me straight but also shows great compassion. I enjoy hearing her perspective on what is going on in my life because I respect her. I have never been able to open up to someone so easily as I do with her and that is where my true growth is coming from so thank you so much Lee Ann and BetterHelp!

More about Lee

  • 25 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW-R

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) working in Westchester, NY with over 25 years of experience.

I have helped my clients with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, loss and stress , relationship and fertility issues as well as LGBTQ+ related issues. I have worked with clients from ages 6 to 62.

Each person is unique, they come to treatment with their own specific values, needs and life experiences. I believe in treating everyone with respect and compassion.

I have an eclectic approach to therapy, I meet my clients where they are in their situation. Together we create an open and safe environment in which to explore the issues and concerns the client is experiencing. We do this without fear of judgement or negativity.

Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage. I am here to help and support you on your journey towards a better you.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
