About Sylvia
Sylvia Lee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 19 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, grieving, or struggling with relationship and intimacy questions. Sylvia also supports clients facing life changes, parenting challenges, ADHD concerns, and issues related to sexual identity and LGBT matters.
Sylvia believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. She focuses on listening first and offering a steady, nonjudgmental space to talk through painful thoughts and feelings. She emphasizes practical steps so change feels manageable rather than overwhelming.
In sessions she aims to help people reconnect with their goals and values. That can mean working on communication, resolving past hurts, or finding new ways to cope after a loss or difficult event such as a natural or human-caused disaster. She describes therapy as a partnership where clients take ownership of their progress.
Sylvia welcomes people from varied cultural backgrounds and ages, and she identifies as a Black woman and a member of the LGBTQIA+ community. That perspective informs her commitment to inclusive care and understanding the many factors that shape a person’s life.
Her approach blends straightforward, goal-focused methods with a client-centered attitude. People who come to her can expect practical strategies, collaborative planning, and support navigating transitions like career moves, separation, caregiver stress, or chronic health concerns.
How her approaches guide remote work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience and values, helping them set goals that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sylvia will work together with each client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning can include trying different techniques and adjusting based on what feels most helpful.
If you plan to do therapy online, confirm the session formats available before booking since session types are set by the therapist. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue care during major life changes or after events like a natural or human-caused disaster, because sessions can be scheduled around recovery tasks and immediate practical needs.
