About Patricia
Patricia Lee is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Oregon with 24 years of experience in mental health and medical social work. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and family problems, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, and questions about life purpose. She also addresses caregiver stress, chronic illness, attachment and abandonment issues, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She treats clients as partners and helps them set clear goals. She explains the therapy methods she uses and checks in on progress so people understand what is happening in sessions. Patricia asks questions that invite new curiosity about a situation, aiming to shift emotional responses and perspectives.
Patricia draws on client-centered methods to recognize strengths and on cognitive behavioral ideas to address the thoughts and behaviors that keep people stuck. Mindfulness techniques are used to bring attention to present-moment experience, and solution-focused practices help identify practical next steps. These tools are used with adults across a range of life and health challenges.
Her background includes work in outpatient medical settings, including counseling adults receiving dialysis, and a long history of providing individual, group, family, and couples work across community and private practice settings. Patricia trained at Portland State University School of Social Work and has continued professional consultation tied to family-focused practice.
When someone is juggling appointments, caregiving, medical care, or other barriers, Patricia aims to make scheduling workable and to talk through practical obstacles to starting therapy. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Patricia uses client-centered work to focus on what matters most to each person, helping identify strengths and priorities in day-to-day life. That approach supports people dealing with life changes, caregiver strain, or uncertainty about direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to connect thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and to try practical ways to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with medical or work-related stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia treats the choice of methods as collaborative and will discuss which approaches fit a person's goals and preferences. She explains the options, checks in about how methods are working, and adjusts plans based on what the client finds helpful.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins that work around medical appointments or caregiving duties. Some formats also reduce the need to be on camera or to travel, which can help when energy or bandwidth is limited. Speak with her about how to arrange sessions that fit your everyday life.
