About Grace
Grace Lee is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 21 years of practice in California. She uses a practical, down-to-earth approach to help people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and addiction. Grace focuses on real problems and simple steps to move forward.
She brings long experience in hospital settings, including end-of-life and crisis work. Grace has worked with older adults, transitional-aged young people, and adults facing severe or persistent mental health challenges.
Background and approach
She also has experience supporting people with substance use concerns and those coping with major life changes. Grace uses an eclectic style and includes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, when trauma or painful memories are part of the picture. She has seen EMDR help with trauma, domestic violence, phobias, abandonment issues, and complicated grief.
In sessions she aims to keep things straightforward. Conversations often focus on coping skills, manageable behavior changes, and tools to reduce intense emotion. She helps people set small goals that fit their daily life.
Grace welcomes clients who want a steady, experienced clinician to talk things through and try practical strategies. She frames therapy as a step-by-step process and works at a pace set by each person.

EMDR and practical therapy through online sessions
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a method that helps people process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity. Sessions often combine brief memory-focused exercises with guided attention to help distressing images feel less overwhelming.Alongside EMDR, Grace uses a flexible, practical approach that emphasizes coping skills and step-by-step goals. That style helps with stress, anger, addiction concerns, grief, and life transitions by teaching tools people can use between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Grace will talk with each person about their history, current needs, and what they hope to change. Together they decide whether EMDR or other techniques will be the most helpful, and they adjust the plan over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care easier to fit into busy lives. Video lets people see facial cues and have deeper conversations, phone can be quicker when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible and accessible for different schedules and preferences.
