About Grace
Grace Lee is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings 21 years of experience to her practice. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps that reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Grace speaks plainly and helps clients make sense of what’s happening in their lives.
She works from California and conducts sessions in English. Grace uses an eclectic approach and includes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, when it fits a client’s needs.
Background and approach
She has seen EMDR help with trauma, domestic violence, phobias, abandonment concerns, and grief. Sessions aim to process upsetting memories and reduce their impact on current life. Her background includes hospital work with crisis situations and end-of-life care.
She has supported people facing chronic illness and geriatric issues, as well as adults coping with substance use and severe mental health challenges. This range shaped a practical, problem-solving style that adapts to each person’s story. Grace often helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting strain, and career pressures.
She also addresses addiction, bipolar mood concerns, anger, and self-esteem issues. Additional focuses include caregiver stress, codependency, family of origin issues, and recovery after separation or domestic violence. Conversations in therapy are collaborative and action-oriented.
Grace works with each person to set clear goals and choose approaches that match their comfort and needs. Her aim is steady progress through real-world strategies and evidence-informed methods.
EMDR and practical approaches delivered online
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a method Grace uses to help people process traumatic memories. It involves guided attention while recalling difficult events to reduce their emotional charge and lessen distress in daily life.Grace also draws on an eclectic, problem-focused approach that combines practical coping skills, pacing, and goal-setting. This helps people manage anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and addiction-related challenges by breaking problems into manageable steps and building everyday routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Grace collaborates with each person to decide whether EMDR or other techniques are the best fit for their history and goals. Together they review what feels manageable and adjust the plan over time so progress can stay realistic and steady.
Online sessions offer flexibility and convenience through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and deeper conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in, and chat or text can fit brief updates or shorter exchanges between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity of care when schedules change.
