Sean Lee

Hello! My name is Sean S. Lee, LCSW, and I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and young adults between the ages of 5 and 21. Throughout my career, I have dedicated my work to supporting youth and families through New Jersey’s Children’s System of Care, helping children overcome emotional, behavioral, social, and family-related challenges.

I have extensive experience providing individual therapy, intensive in-community (IIC) services, behavioral management, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)-informed interventions. My clinical work includes helping children and adolescents manage anxiety, depression, emotional regulation difficulties, behavioral concerns, ADHD, trauma, school-related challenges, family conflict, and life transitions.

My therapeutic approach is individualized, collaborative, and strengths-based. I believe in meeting each child exactly where they are, building a trusting relationship, and creating a safe environment where they feel heard, respected, and supported. Together, we work toward practical goals that promote confidence, resilience, emotional growth, and long-term success. Every child develops at their own pace, and my role is to guide and encourage them throughout that journey.

During our first session, you can expect a welcoming, honest, and judgment-free environment. My priority is getting to know the child as a person—not just the challenges that brought them to therapy. I take time to understand their strengths, interests, concerns, and goals while helping them feel comfortable and supported. I believe that transparency, trust, and open communication are the foundation of successful therapy. Together, we’ll begin developing a plan that empowers the child to build the skills and confidence needed to achieve meaningful, lasting progress.
