About Patricia

Patricia Lee is an Oregon-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over two decades of experience. She offers a straightforward, partnership-based approach for people feeling overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, grief, or major life changes. Patricia focuses on clear goals and practical steps so people can feel steadier in their day-to-day lives.

Patricia uses a collaborative style. She treats each person as a partner and works together to set goals. She explains any methods she uses and checks in on progress along the way. Her questions are meant to help people see their situation differently and discover strengths they already have.

Her background includes work in both mental health and medical social work. Earlier in her career she worked with children, adolescents, and parents. Most of her recent clients have been adults facing depression, trauma, relationship strain, medical and health concerns, bereavement, and life transitions.

She has provided individual, couples, family, and group therapy across clinics and private practice settings. Patricia also has experience supporting adults receiving dialysis in outpatient clinics around Portland. That clinical variety informs her practical, adaptable way of working.

Patricia recognizes common barriers to getting help, such as stigma, scheduling, and finding the right fit. She aims to be flexible with scheduling and to make the steps into care easier for people who are ready to try therapy.

How Patricia’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the person's lead, helps name strengths, and sets shared goals. This approach is useful for people coping with depression, life transitions, and relationship strain.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to reduce anxiety and lift mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches basic attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not listed here in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, help fit sessions into a busy day, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to continue therapy during life transitions without changing therapists.
