Courtney Lee, MD, LCSW-C, LCSW

Courtney Lee, MD, LCSW-C, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker who supports adolescents and adults across Maryland, Texas, and Mississippi. With five years of experience, she focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family challenges, and life transitions. She also works with clients around abandonment, attachment concerns, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, women's issues, workplace difficulties, and challenges common to young adults.

Courtney practices with a warm, supportive, and collaborative style that aims to create a welcoming space where clients feel heard and respected. Her work draws on evidence-based methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, DBT-informed strategies for emotion regulation and interpersonal skills, trauma-informed care to prioritize safety and stabilization, and EMDR for processing distressing memories. She tailors treatment to each person, aligning interventions with individual strengths, needs, and goals.

Beginning therapy can feel daunting, and Courtney approaches that first step with encouragement and practical guidance. She helps clients explore patterns that may keep them stuck, build coping skills, and develop greater self-awareness and confidence so they can navigate life more effectively. Her credentials - MD, a medical doctor, and LCSW-C and LCSW, which indicate clinical social work licensure - reflect her training and commitment to clinical practice.
