Find a therapist in Florida — covered by insurance

I grew up in central Florida and earned my Bachelor of Science in Family and Child Sciences from Florida State University, followed by a Master of Arts in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from the University of South Florida. During graduate school, I gained experience working in a treatment facility and with college students at USF, advocating for children’s educational needs while they balanced mental health treatment. This exposure led to my interest in behavior-focused therapy, particularly in using exposure techniques.

I’ve worked with children, teens, and adults dealing with obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety disorders, depression, Tourette's, and disordered eating.

My journey of self-discovery has led me here and now. As most people do, we have hopes, dreams, and plans for our lives and aim for fulfillment. We do not always anticipate some of the obstacles that suddenly require a helping hand, a steppingstone, or a bridge. If you are currently experiencing any such challenge in your life, please reach out for help and support. I can provide counseling for individuals and the entire family. If you or your family is being impacted by addiction, relationship challenges, daily life stressors and disruptions and mental health concerns including depression and anxiety, your time might be now to receive some help.

I am skillful in helping families target the core issues that they are working through, whether driven by addiction or underlying mental health or dynamic factors. I employ strength based, cognitive behavioral techniques and a range of other modalities to achieve outlined goals. My role would be to listen, support, guide and to be transparent at all times.

Fear often holds us back from making a change or accepting help. Facing my fears has carved this amazing opportunity for me to help you. My years in the field has deepened my compassion for helping others of different cultural, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. I am inspired by those I helped on their journey and would love to do the same for you.

I’m Anesia Lee, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I help individuals, couples, and families manage anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My sessions are collaborative and tailored to your needs, using practical strategies and evidence-based approaches

I use a solution focused approach which means I use modalities that suit your needs best. They include CBT, DBT, EMDR, and mindfulness practices.

During our initial therapy session, my priority is to create a safe space for you to share your story and understand how I can best support you. You can expect:

-Introductions & Overview: To discuss the framework for our work together and a chance for you to ask any initial questions about the process.

-Sharing Your Presenting Concerns: This is your opportunity to describe what brings you to therapy. We'll focus on the challenges and symptoms you are currently experiencing, giving me a clear understanding of your primary concerns.

-Brief History Taking: To provide comprehensive support, I'll ask some questions about your relevant personal history, including past experiences, family background, and any previous therapeutic experiences. This helps illuminate patterns and influences on your current situation.

-Collaborative Goal Setting: Together, we'll begin to identify what you hope to achieve through therapy. This isn't about having all the answers now; it's about forming initial goals that will guide our work and help you move towards the changes you desire.

By the end of our first session, my aim is for you to feel heard, understood, and have a clearer sense of how we can work together to support your journey towards healing and well-being. There will always be room for suggestions concerning our work together, including keeping each other accountable.

I have over 15 years of experience helping clients live a purpose driven and authentic life.

“I believe healing happens when we feel safe enough to listen to ourselves with curiosity

and compassion. My work is grounded, relational, and gently informed by spirituality,

meaning-making, and inner wisdom. I specialize in Internal Family Systems (IFS), which

helps clients understand and care for the different “parts” of themselves — especially

those shaped by pain, protection, or survival. I also integrate Cognitive Behavioral

Therapy (CBT) to support clients in noticing patterns in thoughts and behaviors and

developing practical tools for everyday life.

I hold a BA in Psychology from the University of North Florida (2011) and a Master’s in

Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University (2023). My clinical experience

includes 13 years working in school settings with at-risk teens, along with several years

in private practice. I’ve worked with Fear Less Therapy, Hall Family Therapy (NC), and

Soul Health Center (NC), supporting individuals and couples through anxiety,

depression, relationship challenges, identity exploration, burnout, and major life

transitions. In October 2025, I founded Soul Vibes Counseling Services LLC, where I

continue to offer thoughtful, client-centered care.

I’m LGBTQ+ affirming and strive to create a space that feels calm, welcoming, and

genuine — a place where you don’t have to perform or have everything figured out.

Therapy with me is collaborative and paced to your needs, with the goal of helping you

build self-trust, clarity, and a deeper sense of alignment with who you are and what

matters most to you.”
