Dr. Lee Look, LPP

Dr. Lee Look is a Licensed Psychological Practitioner (LPP) based in Kentucky with a PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Louisville. He brings ten years of clinical experience and more than 20 years as a professional firefighter to his work. He communicates in English and can use sign language when needed.

He focuses on stress and anxiety and also helps people dealing with trauma, depression, grief, compassion fatigue, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem, career shifts, and life transitions. He has experience supporting first responders and people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. He also lists aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, hearing impairment, traumatic brain injury, and veteran and armed forces issues among his focus areas.

His approach centers on cognitive and behavioral methods and on assessment skills learned during his doctoral training. Sessions are collaborative and practical, with an emphasis on meeting each person where they are and letting the person guide the pace and focus of the work. He values clear goals and concrete steps to reduce daily stress and improve coping.

Dr. Look uses multiple ways to communicate, including messaging, chat, and video, and notes comfort with discreet messaging. He works alongside an organization that supports people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Outside of clinical work he has a background in art, enjoys cooking, and has served as a firefighter who survived workplace trauma, which influences his perspective on recovery.

He frames therapy as a shared effort to carry difficult burdens and to find manageable ways forward.

How his approaches shape online work

Dr. Look emphasizes cognitive and behavioral approaches, which focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and building practical skills to change behaviors. These methods are often used for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping after trauma by teaching concrete strategies and step-by-step practice.

He also draws on assessment skills developed during doctoral training to better understand current problems and to tailor interventions to each person. Assessments help map what is most troubling now and guide priorities for treatment in a clear way.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to weigh goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. That conversation guides which techniques are tried and when adjustments are made.

The biography notes comfort with discreet messaging, chat, and video, but it is best to confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, save travel time, allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight, and offer different ways to communicate when speaking out loud feels hard. These practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday routines rather than interrupt them.
