Grace Lee , LCSW

Grace Lee holds a Master of Social Welfare and is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Southern California, bringing 21 years of clinical experience to her work. She has worked across a variety of settings, including hospital environments focused on end of life and crisis care, geriatric services for older adults, and transitional-aged youth services for people aged 16 to 25. Her clinical background also includes substance use counseling and work with people living with severe and persistent mental illness as well as those presenting with moderate symptoms.

Grace employs an eclectic therapeutic style informed by her broad experience and is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a trauma-focused method she has used with survivors of domestic violence, those coping with severe trauma, and individuals facing phobias, abandonment and relationship struggles, and grief. She has observed EMDR making a meaningful difference for many of the issues she treats. Grace works with adults across life stages, including working professionals and caregivers, and addresses concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family challenges, depression, grief, parenting and fatherhood issues, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.

With a focus on practical, compassionate care, she aims to partner with individuals who are ready to explore healing and growth through approaches tailored to their needs.

EMDR and Flexible Online Therapeutic Approaches

Grace Lee is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a therapeutic method that helps people process distressing memories and reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions by pairing focused recall with guided bilateral stimulation. EMDR is often used for trauma, domestic violence recovery, phobias, and symptoms tied to abandonment and relationship wounds.

Alongside EMDR, Grace uses an eclectic approach that draws on different techniques to match each person’s needs rather than following a single model. This flexible style allows her to tailor sessions to address stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, family concerns, and other life changes in ways that fit the individual.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Grace will work with clients to identify goals, assess what resonates, and adjust methods as therapy progresses so the plan aligns with the client’s preferences and circumstances. Licensed professionals and therapists often adapt modalities over time to support the best possible fit.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for accessing care. Video calls and phone sessions provide real-time conversation and emotional connection, while live chat and text-based messaging offer convenience and easier integration into busy schedules. These options increase flexibility and make it simpler for people to engage in consistent, ongoing work toward their goals.
