Vinson Lee, LMFT, LPC

Vinson draws on conversational skills honed during an earlier career in broadcasting to make sessions straightforward and approachable. Vinson returned to graduate school after years working as a radio deejay and television anchor and reporter.

That media background shaped his ability to listen, ask clear questions, and help people tell their stories in ways that lead to change. He also spent time as a substitute teacher, where others noticed his ease connecting with people.

In sessions he focuses on short-term goals and practical steps. He blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness skills to address symptoms of anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, and addictions.

He also uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing when those fit the situation. Vinson works with adults managing grief, career change, intimacy-related issues, compassion fatigue, and other stressors.

He pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, and issues such as body image and co-morbidity when they come up. His method is to set clear goals and adjust the plan as progress happens.

With eight years of clinical experience, Vinson helps people identify practical coping tools and build new routines. He invites new clients to describe what matters to them and then maps out small, achievable steps toward those goals.
