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 combines clinical work with more than 20 years as a professional firefighter, bringing practical experience with workplace trauma to his practice. He offers conversation in English and can use sign language when needed.

Dr. Look primarily uses cognitive and behavioral methods in sessions. He is comfortable with messaging, chat, and video formats. He also has experience with psychological assessment and works with an organization that supports people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Clients can expect a straightforward, respectful tone in sessions. He aims to meet each person where they are and to make sure they have control over the counseling relationship. That approach is intended to help people feel safe enough to share hard material when they are ready.

He has worked with trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, post-traumatic stress - especially in first responders - and compassion fatigue. His additional focus areas include aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, hearing impairment, veteran and armed forces issues, and traumatic brain injury.

Outside work he draws on past years as an artist and enjoys cooking. He expresses respect for anyone who reaches out for help and frames therapy as a way to share a burden rather than shoulder it alone.

How his approaches work for online care

Dr. Look primarily uses cognitive and behavioral methods that focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing alternative responses. These techniques are often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many trauma-related reactions by setting concrete goals and practicing new skills between sessions.

He also draws on evidence-based trauma-focused work that helps people process distressing experiences and learn coping strategies for symptoms like hyperarousal or intrusive memories. For first responders or others with workplace trauma, this can mean focused work on symptom reduction and rebuilding daily routines.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs rather than prescribing a single path up front.

His biography notes comfort with messaging, chat, and video formats, but readers should confirm the currently available session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow brief check-ins between work shifts, reduce travel time, and let a person use a quieter setting during a lunch break or after a shift. A therapist and client can decide together which format and pace suit the client's routines and symptoms.
