About Zoe
Zoe Citrowske Lee is a Minnesota LICSW with five years of clinical experience. She brings a background in psychology and women and gender studies to her social work practice. Her stated concerns include stress, anxiety, LGBT issues, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, and depression.
She began studying psychology and gender during college and moved into social work to focus on advocacy and systemic change. Her graduate training at St. Catherine University included work on trauma and oppression. She identifies as a member of the LGBTQ community and draws on that lived experience when relevant in sessions.
Zoe says she uses a collaborative and transparent style. She aims to help people talk through shame, guilt, and attachment struggles without judgment. Sessions focus on practical steps for managing stress, navigating relationships, improving body image, and addressing caregiver strain.
She also works with people facing chronic pain, illness, or disability and those processing post-traumatic stress. The description lists sexuality among the topics she addresses. Her approach is described as relationship-based and focused on building resilience through clear, concrete work.
Clients can expect a straightforward conversation about goals and next steps. Zoe emphasizes ongoing professional learning and advocacy as part of her practice. People interested in starting would choose an online therapy option, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Many of the techniques Zoe uses are evidence-based and focused on practical change. One common approach helps people notice patterns in relationships and attachment, then practice different ways of connecting and setting boundaries. This can help with relationship strain, attachment wounds, and feelings of shame tied to interpersonal dynamics.Another approach addresses stress, anxiety, and depression by teaching manageable skills for day-to-day coping. These skills include brief behavioral experiments, paced breathing or activity changes, and small goal-setting to rebuild confidence and reduce overwhelm.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that match their goals, needs, and preferences. The first sessions usually clarify what feels most useful and adjust from there.
The biography does not specify which online session formats she uses. Confirm available formats before booking so you know whether sessions are by video, phone, or another method. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce commute time so therapy fits around work, caregiving, or health demands.
