About Lee
Dr. Lee Look is a Licensed Psychological Practitioner (LPP) based in Kentucky with ten years of clinical experience. He holds a PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Louisville and brings additional perspective from a long career as a professional firefighter. His background shapes a practical, direct approach to common struggles such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief.
He mainly uses cognitive and behavioral methods in sessions, focusing on skills people can use right away. He offers assessment work and has experience supporting those with post-traumatic stress, especially among first responders. He also works with concerns around relationships, intimacy, self-esteem, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
Dr. Look can communicate in sign language and works with an organization serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. He notes experience with aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, traumatic brain injury, and veteran and armed forces concerns. His lived experience with workplace injury informs his understanding of workplace trauma.
His style emphasizes meeting each person where they are and keeping the client in control of the therapeutic relationship. Sessions often include straightforward skill-building, problem-solving, and practical coaching tools to manage everyday stressors and life transitions.
Outside work he spent years as an artist, enjoys cooking, and says he wishes he could sing. He frames therapy as shared work and invites people to bring the problems that feel heavy so they can be carried together.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Many of the techniques Dr. Look uses are straightforward and adapt well to remote conversations. Cognitive behavioral methods focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors, which often involves short homework tasks and skill rehearsal between sessions. Assessment work involves structured questions and brief testing to understand patterns and plan targeted steps.Another common element is trauma-informed support for first responders and others who have faced workplace injury or assault. This work mixes grounding and stabilization strategies with gradual processing and practical coping tools to reduce symptoms and rebuild routines.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they refine the plan and try methods that match the client's needs, adjusting as progress is made.
Session formats were not fully specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins during work breaks. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can help match therapy to day-to-day life without changing the therapeutic focus.
