Sylvia Lee , LPC

Sylvia Lee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with 19 years of experience working with individuals and families. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, intimacy-related concerns, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, self-esteem issues, career transitions, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Her practice also addresses more specific concerns such as abandonment and attachment issues, blended family dynamics, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication and commitment difficulties, and divorce and separation.

She approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, believing that each person is the expert in their own story and has resources to draw on during times of change. Sylvia aims to provide an objective and trusted listener who can offer support without judgment while clients process difficult thoughts and emotions. Beginning therapy can feel daunting, and she acknowledges that the idea of change often feels harder than the change itself; she offers steady support as clients move toward greater fulfillment.

Sylvia identifies as a Black woman and as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, and she is passionate about serving people from diverse cultural backgrounds and all ages. She partners with clients to help them take ownership of their journeys, reconnect with strengths and goals, and find practical steps forward. Taking the first step to seek a more satisfying life takes courage, and Sylvia encourages prospective clients to reach out when they are ready to begin.

Approaches That Guide Online Therapy with Sylvia Lee

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and supporting clients to explore their own goals and values - it helps when people want a collaborative, nonjudgmental space to make sense of their experience and build self-trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies - it is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and managing everyday coping skills. Motivational Interviewing emphasizes working with a person's own motivation to make change, using gentle questioning and reflection to clarify goals and increase commitment.

Sylvia works collaboratively with clients to determine which approach or combination of approaches best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That process is part of therapy itself - she partners with each person to try strategies, assess what helps, and adjust the plan as work unfolds, drawing on methods commonly used by licensed professionals and therapists.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic distance. These options make it easier to attend sessions consistently, follow up between appointments, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward meaningful change.
