About Grace
Grace Lee is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 21 years of clinical experience in California. She offers straightforward therapy focused on helping people manage stress and anxiety and move through painful life events. Grace keeps sessions practical and easy to follow for worried parents and busy adults.
She trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, and uses it when trauma or painful memories are part of the picture.
Background and approach
She has seen EMDR help with trauma, phobias, grief, and relationship wounds. Grace pairs that work with flexible approaches to meet each person's needs. Her background includes hospital work with end-of-life and crisis care, substance use counseling, and supporting people with chronic mental health challenges.
She has experience with older adults, transitional-aged people, working professionals, and adults facing major life changes. That range informs how she adapts sessions to practical realities. In a typical session Grace listens for what matters most right now.
She helps people set small goals, practice coping skills, and address painful memories when those come up. She uses clear language and concrete steps to make progress feel manageable. Grace aims to help people rebuild confidence after loss, addiction, or relationship strain.
She also supports work on parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, career shifts, and coping with chronic illness. Her style is collaborative and outcome-focused while staying grounded in everyday life.
How EMDR and flexible formats work online
EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that uses guided attention and bilateral stimulation to help reduce the intensity of painful memories. It can be useful for trauma, domestic violence, phobias, abandonment wounds, and grief when memories keep causing distress.Alongside EMDR, Grace uses practical talk-based work to teach coping skills, manage anxiety, and address relationship or parenting concerns. That means sessions may include breathing and grounding exercises, problem solving, and step-by-step plans to handle stressful moments. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which approach fits best for their goals and comfort level.
Online therapy here is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care easier to fit into life. Video is useful when visual cues and interactive EMDR components help progress. Phone calls can be a quick check-in and work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow short check-ins and continuing support between sessions. These options give flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving demands, and people who prefer not to travel to appointments.
