About Patricia

Patricia Lee is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Oregon who focuses on helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

With 24 years of clinical experience, she centers work on building individual strengths and practical skills so clients can move toward clearer goals and improved day-to-day functioning. Her practice emphasizes collaboration, inviting clients to partner in setting treatment aims and tracking progress together.

Patricia blends cognitive behavioral ideas with client-centered and mindfulness-informed practices to help people shift unhelpful patterns and increase emotional awareness.

She draws on long experience across settings including independent practice, outpatient medical clinics, and group formats, and has worked with concerns spanning trauma and abuse, parenting and family problems, chronic illness and caregiver stress, relationship difficulties, and mood disorders.

Patricia explains therapeutic approaches to clients, asks questions that promote curiosity about personal narratives, and supports clients in developing new perspectives and coping strategies tailored to their situations.

Approaches to Change and How They Work Online

Patricia commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. She also draws on client-centered methods that emphasize listening, empathy, and partnership so clients feel understood and involved in deciding what to work on.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She discusses different methods with clients, explains what to expect from each approach, and tailors the work to a person’s goals, preferences, and life circumstances so treatment feels practical and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for flexible scheduling and easier access when life or health issues make in-person visits difficult. These options let clients maintain continuity of care, try different communication styles, and fit therapy into busy routines while working with a licensed professional.
