About Sylvia
Sylvia Lee is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life transitions. She frames clients as the experts of their own stories and focuses on your strengths. Sylvia offers steady support as you take steps toward change.

How Sylvia works
Sylvia draws from client-centered approaches that prioritize listening and collaboration. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals. Motivational interviewing helps when people feel unsure or stuck about making a change.
She works with people across a wide range of concerns, including parenting stress, blended family issues, attachment and abandonment worries, body image, chronic illness or pain, caregiving strain, and challenges related to sexuality and kink. Sylvia also supports those navigating divorce, separation, aging issues, and trauma and abuse recovery. Clients can expect a nonjudgmental and respectful space to talk things through.
Sylvia aims to help people reconnect with their strengths, clarify what they want, and take manageable steps toward healthier routines and relationships. She practices in Wisconsin and provides care in English.

Online support options
Online approaches that focus on goals and strengths
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding the client's perspective. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what matters to you, and helps you name your priorities so progress feels meaningful and relevant. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It uses simple exercises to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sylvia will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can include trying a few techniques and adjusting as you learn what helps most.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video helps when visual cues and face-to-face conversation matter. Phone sessions can fit a tight schedule or reduce bandwidth needs. Live chat and messaging provide brief check-ins or ways to process between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caregiving, school, and other responsibilities, while keeping focus on practical steps and achievable goals.
