About Sylvia
Sylvia Lee is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin with 19 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and questions about career and life direction. She also supports people dealing with LGBT-related concerns, parenting strains, ADHD, and the ripple effects of trauma and abuse.
Sylvia focuses on meeting people where they are and listening without judgment. She uses clear, practical conversations to help clients identify strengths and next steps. Many people come to her when a life change feels overwhelming or when they are unsure what matters next after a job, relationship, or health shift.
Her background includes long-term clinical work helping clients manage strong emotions and immediate problems. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client's lead and build on what already works. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to notice and adjust thought and behavior patterns that keep problems repeating.
Sylvia also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people resolve mixed feelings about change and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and test what helps. These methods are practical and action-oriented when clients want concrete steps to try between sessions.
She identifies as a Black female therapist and as part of the LGBTQIA+ community. Her practice attends to cultural background, relationship patterns, and life stage issues such as aging, caregiving, or blended family challenges. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. The therapist reflects concerns, validates what matters, and helps people build on their existing strengths. This approach is helpful when someone wants to explore values, direction, or feelings that are hard to name.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions keep problems stuck. Online work with CBT often includes identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavioral experiments between sessions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress that interfere with daily life.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels torn about change. It uses concise conversations to clarify goals and strengthen personal motivation before moving to concrete steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what the client needs.
Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or remove travel time. Ask about the specific session formats offered when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can choose what fits your schedule and needs.
