About Sylvia
Sylvia Lee is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Wisconsin with 19 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, depression, LGBT-related issues, parenting challenges, and attention difficulties. She also supports those coping with life changes and career pressures.
Sylvia uses straightforward, practical methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She listens and reflects so clients can consider different ways of responding to problems. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps clients can try between meetings.
Her approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered conversations and motivational techniques. That mix helps with specific worries and with deciding what matters most to move forward. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to set clear goals and track progress.
Sylvia describes herself as a Black, female therapist who is part of the LGBTQIA+ community. She has experience helping people from a range of cultural backgrounds and ages. She often works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, self-esteem, body image, and blended family or caregiver stress.
Practical problems like chronic illness, grief, commitment or communication issues are also within her focus areas. She encourages clients to identify strengths and test new behaviors. The work tends to be direct and task-oriented, with attention to what clients want to change next.
How Sylvia uses CBT and practical approaches in online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says so they can clarify their priorities and make decisions. It is useful when someone needs a trusted listener and clear feedback about values or life choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It tends to be direct and skill-oriented, which can help with anxiety, depression, and specific worries such as panic or avoidance.
Motivational Interviewing is brief and goal-focused. It helps when someone feels unsure about change and needs to weigh options and strengthen their own reasons for taking steps forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sylvia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That may mean combining CBT tasks with client-centered conversation and short motivational check-ins.
