About Grace

Grace Lee is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California with 21 years of practice. She draws on practical, focused methods to help people cope with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and trauma. Her style is straightforward and goal-oriented, aimed at making sessions feel useful from the start.

Grace blends different approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma-related concerns and works with people dealing with relationship strains, parenting stress, or career transitions.

Background and approach

She also supports those facing chronic illness, caregiving burdens, and life changes like separation or loss. Her background includes hospital work with crisis and end-of-life care, geriatric settings, substance use counseling, and helping people with serious and persistent mental health conditions. That range informs how she plans treatment and manages complex situations.

Grace favors clear steps and practical coping strategies that fit everyday life. Sessions aim to identify immediate problems and build skills to reduce distress. EMDR is introduced when trauma responses or painful memories are a central issue.

For other concerns she uses an adaptable approach that focuses on the next manageable step. People can expect a steady, experienced clinician who balances direct guidance with listening. Grace encourages collaboration on goals and treatment choices, so work in therapy reflects each person’s priorities and pace.

Online support

How EMDR and online sessions work together

Grace uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as a core method when trauma or painful memories are the main concern. EMDR involves focusing on a target memory while using guided bilateral stimulation to help reduce distress and reprocess how the memory is stored. It is often applied for trauma, domestic violence, phobias, abandonment issues, and grief.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your history, hear your goals, and suggest whether EMDR or another method fits best. Treatment plans are adjusted as progress and comfort levels become clear, so clients help choose the pace and focus.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to attend sessions. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction similar to in-person work. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or an alternative when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, coping reminders, and ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving schedules, or when travel is difficult.
