About Grace

Grace Lee uses practical, experience-based approaches to help people manage big life stresses. She has a Master of Social Welfare and is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW. Grace practices in California and brings 21 years of experience to each session.

She speaks English and focuses on clear, direct support for everyday problems. Grace often uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, when trauma or painful memories are part of the problem.

Background and approach

She has seen EMDR help with trauma, domestic violence, phobias, and grief. Her style is adaptable and focused on steps people can try between sessions. Her past work includes hospitals, end-of-life care, crisis settings, and counseling for substance use and serious mental illness.

That background informs how she approaches complex stress and long-term challenges. She aims to make therapy feel practical and relevant to daily life. Sessions may address stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, mood challenges, and coping with life changes.

Grace also works with issues like abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and family problems. She frames each conversation around what the person hopes to change. To begin, clients follow a short matching process and schedule sessions that fit their timing.

Payment uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and sessions are offered in several online formats.

Using EMDR and practical techniques in online therapy

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, helps people process painful memories. It uses guided attention while recalling distressing events to reduce their emotional charge, and it can be helpful for trauma, domestic violence, phobias, and abandonment work.

Grace pairs EMDR with adaptable, skills-based methods focused on daily coping and problem solving. These straightforward tools help with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and grief. She and the client decide together which approach to try based on the client’s goals and comfort level, so the plan reflects personal needs and preferences.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments, try brief check-ins between sessions, and use therapy without long commutes. The combination of targeted approaches and flexible formats aims to make practical progress manageable for busy lives.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
