Sylvia Lee , LPC

Sylvia Lee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with 19 years of clinical experience. As an LPC, she combines professional training with a practical, strengths-based approach to help people navigate stressful life moments and emotional challenges.

Sylvia works with individuals facing stress and anxiety, LGBT-related concerns, grief and loss, and intimacy-related issues. She views each person as the expert of their own story and builds on existing strengths to support change. Taking the first step toward a more satisfying life is acknowledged as an act of courage, and Sylvia offers steady, nonjudgmental support throughout that process.

Many clients benefit from an objective, trusted listener who can provide perspective and emotional support. Sylvia provides a comfortable setting where clients can settle in and explore difficult feelings - whether those feelings are frightening, tied to high stress, or connected to significant loss. She identifies as a Black, female therapist and as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, and she is committed to serving people from diverse cultural backgrounds and ages. Sylvia partners with individuals and families to help them reclaim strengths, address old hurts, and move toward goals and renewed connections.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Sylvia Lee integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work - this approach can be especially helpful for processing identity, relationship, and life-change concerns. CBT offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it is often used to address anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms.

She also draws on motivational interviewing to support readiness for change and to help clients clarify goals when they feel stuck. The choice of approach is collaborative - Sylvia works with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow clients to engage in therapy from different locations and to choose the format that suits their schedule and comfort level, making consistent support easier to maintain alongside everyday responsibilities.
