She helps clients identify what they want to change and chooses techniques that match those goals. Many people find this mix useful for managing mood, stress, sleep, and relationship patterns. Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented, but rooted in empathy.

She supports people through life transitions, grief, parenting strains, and the challenges of rebuilding after difficult experiences. The work centers on helping clients move toward more manageable, meaningful days.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Lee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in ways that fit each person she sees. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and panic symptoms. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and quick strategies that move a person toward specific goals; it can be useful for stress, parenting concerns, and decision-making.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest techniques that match those priorities. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is working and what is not.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when video is not an option, and live chat or text messaging can support shorter check-ins or between-session contact. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into daily life and to keep therapy consistent across distance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
