More about Starr
- 9 years' experience
- Male
- LMFT
Hello, my name is Starr Lee, a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist (LMFT) in the state of California. I have nine years of experience as a clinical therapist, working with individuals and families from diverse communities. I worked with a wide range of clients struggling with PTSD, trauma, grief and loss, stress, anxiety, depression and relationship issues.
I provide person-centered therapy with the focus of self-awareness and self-acceptance to encourage growth. My therapeutic stance is to encourage self-exploration of thoughts and feelings, looking at every aspect of a person’s life to identify strengths and build resiliency. Therapy is focus on you and exploring the use of your skills and abilities to develop small changes that will lead to bigger changes.
I have training in a range of modalities including art therapy, parenting skills, grief counseling, solution-focused, strength-based model, family therapy, existential therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. I take a holistic approach to therapy, addressing an individual as a whole person.
My goal is to build a meaningful relationship with you through unconditional positive regard, empathy, and genuineness on your path to regain health, wholeness and wellness. I am looking forward to getting to know you on your journey of self-discovery and healing.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall rating:
Starr is great! He is soft spoken, kind, and insightful. I genuinely believe that he is interested in my life.
Starr is great and very knowledgeable in his expertise. I 100% recommend him and FaithfulCounseling.
When one looks for a counselor, typical apprehension of judgement is what deters many from seeking or being transparent. Starr, has shown that he listens but displays his desire to relate. He is considerate in his responses (both in guidance and tone)....but most importantly, he cares. In essence, he has helped me be a more transparent, accountable and more Christian-faith convicted individual. Together he has helped me (through open dialogue) be a better version of me.
I would recommend Starr to anyone dealing with problems in there lives and he will give u the help you will need to break free from sin.
Starr has excellent insight, thoughtful suggestions, and is very helpful.
Starr is extremely sympathetic, a great listener, and communicates clearly with the level of sensitivity that makes sharing comfortable. I’m encouraged to be myself, and am enthusiastic to do so trusting Starr’s expertise.
Star is patient, thoughtful, inquisitive and supportive. I found him to be a tremendous help to me as I was going through a challenging time both at home and at work.
Very patient and an understanding listener.
Starr is a great therapist. He listens, asks good questions, continues on previous topics, and suggests solutions and strategies.
Incredibly empathetic, patient, and provides an incredibly warm and comforting presence during our many sessions. I cannot have more appreciation for Starr and his practice.
I just started a few sessions with Starr, and I can already tell he is a very though-provoking and insightful therapist. definitely am getting a lot out of our sessions.
Starr is amazing!! I would have never made it through 2020 without him.
Starr has been the most engaged and attentive therapist I have had the opportunity to work with on BetterHelp, and I've talked to several this past year. I appreciate Starr's professionalism. Thank you
Starr is so personable and relatable. The questions he asks cut deep and really get me thinking, which more often than not uncovers a lot of why I do what I do. He's very kind, a great listener and very easy to talk with. I can't recommend Starr enough.
Starr is supportive and informative. Great counselor!
Starr Lee is a great counselor. His occasional in site has been clearly helpful in guiding me to understand myself and my circumstances better and more honestly. Most of all, I appreciate how well he listens.
Mr. Lee is amazing! He is the first counselor that I have used on this platform and I am so thankful for the help he gave me. Always listened and reframed to understand where I was coming from. He helped me to overcome my misgivings about counseling just by his kind demeanor. Definitely recommend!
Starr continues to help me work through my life and I feel comfortable and more confident as the year went by. It has helped me to understand myself and grow in the process. I’m grateful for Starr’s guidance through difficult times. He has an ease about him that makes the process inviting.
Great therapist. Genuinely shows interest in assisting and counseling his clients!
I’ve really enjoyed working with Starr. He has a great balance of listening and offering his own insights and suggestions. He has also provided some great outside resources for a variety of the topics we’ve discussed including articles, exercises, quotes and books.
Starr is great! I appreciate his professionalism and courtesy. Thank you!
Starr was amazingly helpful. He helped me dig deeper and find ways to handle anxiety. Through questioning we got to a place where I had a good mental place to go when I was feeling anxiety creep up. I loved that we had the chance to talk weekly to keep things moving. Thank you!
I really feel that Starr actively listens to me, cares about my well being and really wants to help me get past my issues so that I can be a better version of myself and live a very happy and healthy life.
Great counselor! Very kind and patient, non judgmental, and comes up with multiple strategies on coping with life. Grateful to have him as a counselor!
