About Patricia
Patricia Lee is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a long history helping people navigate stress, parenting challenges, grief, anxiety, and life changes. She brings a calm, practical style that focuses on building everyday skills. Patricia aims to create a collaborative space where people feel respected and heard as they work toward clearer goals.
She treats problems by identifying strengths people already have and building on them. Her sessions are conversational and goal-oriented.
Background and approach
She explains methods she uses and checks in about progress so people understand what they're trying and why. Patricia draws on 24 years of experience across mental health and medical social work in Oregon.
Early work included supporting children, adolescents, and parents; much of her later work has been with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, family concerns, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and bereavement. That range shaped a practice that balances practical tools with attention to life context. In sessions she asks questions that help clients look at situations differently and shift emotional responses.
She partners with people to set clear, realistic goals and to practice skills between meetings. This concrete focus helps parents and caregivers manage daily demands while addressing deeper concerns. Patricia understands practical barriers to getting counseling, such as scheduling and stigma, and tries to be flexible about appointment options.
She offers multiple online formats and supports people in finding an approach that fits their life and goals.

Approaches that fit busy family lives and changing needs
Patricia commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding each person's goals, and partnering to build motivation and confidence. It helps people talk through parenting stress, relationship tensions, or grief in a nonjudgmental way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes by offering step-by-step practices.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Patricia helps clients decide which methods fit their situation and preferences. She explains options, sets shared goals, and adjusts plans based on what is or isn't working so the relationship stays collaborative.
Online therapy offers flexibility for parents and people with busy routines. Video calls support face-to-face conversation when a fuller check-in is needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, homework support, or a low-key way to follow up between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while managing caregiving, work, and medical appointments.
