Lee M Stillerman, PhD

We have been providing online therapy services to clients in California for many years. Our approach to therapy is evidence-based, down-to-earth, and open to a little humor when it helps. We have helped people navigate a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, and interpersonal relationship issues. Our services are ideal for those struggling with career obstacles, grief and loss, life transitions, and the everyday demands of life. We draw on strategies and ideas from a variety of theoretical orientations, tailored to meet each person's unique needs. We explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that aren't working and identify more adaptive or functional responses to help clients adjust to life's changes. We try evidence-based approaches that research suggests can help clients achieve their goals and find relief. We believe in the value of not taking life too seriously and integrate humor into therapy as a way to promote insight, connection, and resilience. We have a strong educational background, with a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from New Mexico State University.

We are a licensed psychologist providing individual psychotherapy online via a HIPAA-compliant video conferencing platform. We are committed to providing a private, confidential space for personal growth and believe in being entirely honest with oneself as a good exercise. We have presented on the psychological benefits of humor and have served as an ad hoc editorial consultant for HUMOR: International Journal of Humor Research. We have a predoctoral internship and postdoctoral fellowship from accredited institutions. We have been practicing for over 16 years and are dedicated to helping clients achieve their goals and find relief.
