Lee Owen, LCSW

Hi, I’m Lee.

A man with glasses and short light-colored hair smiling outdoors in a park with green trees and grass, wearing a white polo shirt.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) providing virtual therapy in Tennessee. I aim to create a safe space for you to bring your whole self to therapy.

I use evidence-based approaches like CBT and ACT to help you understand and respond to emotions so that you feel less overwhelmed and more free. I specialize in depression, anxiety, relationship problems, and eating disorders. We can also work together to increase mindfulness and self-compassion.

As a member of the LGBT community, I have a special passion for serving LGBTQ clients, as well as poly and kink communities. Whether you are navigating a complicated political climate, reducing shame and growing in self-acceptance, or exploring new pronouns or identity labels, I will be with you all the way!

Getting help is hard — congratulations on the first step!

My Approach

My focus is serving young adults and adults navigating life transitions. I use evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help you understand and respond to your emotions. I believe that the emotions we are most tempted to run away from– fear, grief, anger– exist to tell us about the kind of life we want. I help clients learn to identify and listen to their emotions rather than being overwhelmed or shut down. We will also work together to increase mindfulness and self-compassion so you can spend less time in your head and more time in your life.
