About Grace
Grace Lee is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 21 years of practice in California. She uses a practical, person-centered style and focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, addictions, and relationship struggles. Grace is comfortable talking about trauma, grief, parenting strains, and phobias as part of everyday life concerns.
Her background includes hospital work with crisis situations and end-of-life care. She has also worked with older adults, transitional-aged young people, and individuals with substance use concerns.
Background and approach
Those roles shaped her calm, steady approach to difficult problems. Grace draws on an eclectic mix of techniques to fit each person she meets. One approach she uses is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which she applies when trauma or frightening memories are part of the problem.
She aims to make sessions practical and focused on real-life goals. In sessions she helps people break problems into smaller steps. That can mean building coping skills for panic or anxiety, working through grief and loss, or addressing relationship patterns that keep repeating.
She also supports people facing career shifts, caregiving stress, or chronic health challenges. Grace tries to keep things straightforward and collaborative. She listens, suggests doable tools, and checks in about progress so plans change when needed.
EMDR and practical care delivered online
Grace uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as one tool to address trauma, phobias, and distressing memories. EMDR involves focusing on a troubling memory while following gentle bilateral stimulation so the emotional intensity can lessen and daily functioning can improve.She combines EMDR with straightforward skill building for anxiety, stress, and addiction-related difficulties. That means learning breathing and grounding techniques, making step-by-step plans for facing fears, and practicing new behavioral choices between sessions. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process based on each person's goals and comfort level.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful when visual cues matter, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can fit a quick check-in or support between sessions. These options let people fit care around work, caregiving, or medical needs while keeping continuity with a licensed professional.
