About Grace
Grace Lee is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California with 21 years of experience. She combines practical techniques with calm guidance to help people facing intense life challenges. Her style is direct and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people feel steadier day to day.
Lee uses a flexible approach in sessions and tailors methods to each person's situation. She draws on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma-related concerns and pairs that with other supportive strategies.
How Grace works
Conversations focus on concrete steps, coping skills, and making sense of painful experiences. Her background includes work in hospital settings, crisis care, and end-of-life support. She has also worked with older adults, transitional-aged adults, people affected by substance use, and those with persistent mental health challenges.
That mix of settings has shaped a practical, paced way of working. Sessions often address trauma, domestic violence effects, grief, relationship struggles, abandonment concerns, and phobias. Lee also helps with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and career pressures.
She emphasizes small, manageable changes that reduce overwhelm. People can expect straightforward listening, guided skill-building, and collaborative planning. Lee aims to help clients move from feeling stuck to handling hard moments with more confidence.
Her work centers on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Online support options
EMDR and Online Care for Trauma and Life Changes
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, uses guided bilateral stimulation combined with focused memory work. It is often used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories, phobias, abandonment wounds, and strong emotional reactions.In addition to EMDR, sessions use practical coping tools and step-by-step plans to manage anxiety, stress, grief, and substance-related concerns. These methods aim to make day-to-day life more manageable while processing difficult experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible options: video calls for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited or camera use is not wanted, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into work, caregiving, or medical schedules and to continue care from different locations.
