Patricia Lee, LCSW - Therapist in Oregon

About Patricia

Patricia Lee is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 24 years of experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, parenting challenges, and family concerns. Patricia aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for parents and individuals feeling overwhelmed.

Her approach is collaborative and strengths-based. She helps people name what matters to them, set clear goals, and try small changes that build confidence over time. Patricia explains any techniques she uses and checks in about progress so people know what's working.

Background and approach

Patricia trained at the School of Social Work at Portland State and has a long history in both medical and mental health settings. Much of her work has involved adults managing mood and relationship problems, along with people coping with health issues and bereavement. Earlier in her career she also worked with children, adolescents, and parents in clinical settings.

She uses methods drawn from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused work. In sessions she asks questions that invite new ways of seeing problems and helps people practice different responses. The conversations aim to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Patricia has experience supporting people through caregiving stress, attachment and family of origin issues, domestic violence impacts, chronic illness, and compassion fatigue. She works in Oregon and conducts sessions in English. If logistics or scheduling feel like barriers, she seeks to be flexible and practical when planning care.

How Patricia’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's priorities. The therapist follows the client's lead, highlights strengths, and helps set goals that feel meaningful. This approach suits parents and adults who want a respectful, collaborative space to talk about family stress or life changes.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She helps clients notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety or depression. CBT is often useful for stress, mood problems, and managing everyday challenges related to health or caregiving.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Patricia will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust based on what the client finds most helpful. This collaborative process helps match methods to goals and preferences rather than imposing a single style.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, handle childcare or transportation limits, and keep continuity during changes. The range of formats supports steady progress by letting clients choose what feels most practical and comfortable.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
