Lee is awesome, I've been searching for a therapist like him and was getting close to giving up. I've wanted someone that would talk to me like I talk to others. Therapists I've had in the past treat me with either kid gloves or straight out of a medical journal. Lee treats me as a person as I am. I swear like a sailor and he doesn't bat an eye. I can't thank him enough for helping me with all the anxiety life is throwing at me. Thanks Lee!

- LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over over 15 years of experience as a therapist. I currently practice in Alabama. Included within that 15 years is three years of experience as program manager/director. I have experience working with clients with substance abuse and dependence issues, depression, anxiety, legal problems, family problems, LGBTQ+ clients, domestic violence issues (both survivors and perpetrators), Native American (Yupik) clients, and clients within the kink community.
In me you will find a non-judgemental confidant and advisor. I have a generally directive approach while fully respecting your right to choose and live your life as you see fit. We will work together to help you find and implement a plan for getting you where you want to be.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
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.

Phenomenal therapist who supports his clients identifying real solutions. Great listener, tons of wisdom - highly recommended.
I’ve had a few sessions, and so far, I’m very pleased.
So far so good. I think this will help!
Great listener. Straight shooter. Light-hearted. Thoughtful, caring person.
Guy knows his stuff!
This guy is my kind of people. We debate, we converse, we agree, and we disagree. I feel that each time we speak we each learn something. I feel we challenge each other in our topics. I've been in and out of therapy since 8 years of age. I've always spoken to a therapist the same way but, no other therapist has rolled with the punches, pushed my thinking while allowing me to push theirs, or actually been somewhat of a friend to me. This guy is the real deal. 6 out of 5 stars.
It's been great!
Reminds me of someone I used to know. He’s like talking to a friend.
He is caring and considerate of My feelings. So, far I'm beyond happy
Listens and has understanding and helped me set realistic goals to work towards.
Mr. Lockhart is extremely knowledgeable and kind. He’s a good listener and is able to extract meaning or main issue from any of my stories. He doesn’t judge and supports me at every step. I’d recommend Mr. Lockhart to anyone!
He is very easy to talk to. I felt completely comfortable speaking openly with him from the beginning. Definitely recommend him as a therapist.
Mr Lockhart does a great job. I have been very trusting, and very comfortable so far. He has been very helpful.
