About Patricia
Patricia Lee is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Oregon with 24 years of experience in mental health and medical social work. She works with adults carrying stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship problems, and issues around coping with life changes and family concerns, including guilt and shame.
She practices in a collaborative, client-centered way. Patricia treats people as partners and helps them set clear goals. She explains the methods she uses and keeps clients informed about progress as therapy moves forward.
Patricia draws on approaches that focus on identifying strengths in the person and their relationships. She asks questions that encourage curiosity about a situation so people can shift how they feel about it. That approach aims to change emotional responses and foster a different understanding of self.
Her background includes work in both mental health and medical settings. Earlier in her career she worked with children, adolescents, and parents. Much of her later work focused on adults facing anxiety, trauma, family-of-origin concerns, health-related stress, bereavement, and caregiving strains.
She has provided individual therapy, couples counseling, family therapy, and group work across clinics and private practice. Patricia has particular experience supporting adults receiving dialysis treatment in outpatient clinic settings. She recognizes practical barriers to counseling and will discuss scheduling and logistics with people who are interested.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building goals together. It involves reflecting what matters to the person and helping them name strengths to draw on during hard times. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior. It offers practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try different actions that can change how someone feels.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize listening and exploration, skills practice from CBT, or mindfulness exercises that calm attention.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific online options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Phone or video choices differ in how much visual connection they provide and how they fit into daily routines, so discussing practical needs helps match a format to someone's schedule.
