Background and approach
That experience informs how she structures sessions and sets realistic goals with each person. In sessions she uses straightforward methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. She helps clients identify unhelpful thinking, try new behaviors, and build small habits that reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Goals are concrete and tied to everyday life tasks. Her approach is collaborative and pragmatic. She listens first, then helps set short-term steps and longer-term aims.
Sessions often include homework or small experiments to practice between meetings. Dr. Lee holds the credential FL Psychologist PY5608.
She provides services in English and works with people across a wide range of concerns including panic attacks, grief, eating and sleeping problems, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue.
Practical approaches for online care
Dr. Lee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that fuel anxiety or depression. CBT focuses on specific thoughts and actions and gives tools that can be practiced between sessions to reduce symptoms and build new habits.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy which concentrates on current strengths and small achievable steps. This approach is useful when someone wants quick, practical changes or help deciding the next right step during a stressful time.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will talk about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels useful. That means the method can shift over time to match changing needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video works well for full conversations and visual cues. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit short updates, brief coaching, or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while still working on anxiety, panic, grief, or daily stress.
