About Sylvia
Sylvia Lee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, relationship or intimacy concerns, and identity-related issues. She supports those navigating career shifts, parenting challenges, ADHD, and other life changes that can feel heavy and confusing.
Sylvia believes people are the experts in their own stories and brings a calm, nonjudgmental presence to sessions. She listens closely and helps clients notice strengths they can use to move forward. Her style is collaborative and focused on practical steps that fit a person’s life.
In sessions she draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build a trusting space where concerns can be named and understood. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, achievable goals. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone wants to find internal reasons to change.
With 19 years of experience, Sylvia has worked with many types of concerns including trauma and abuse, family and blended-family dynamics, body image and sexual identity, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and issues around commitment and communication. She also works with people dealing with abandonment, aging, cancer, and divorce or separation.
Sylvia identifies as a Black woman and a member of the LGBTQIA+ community. She is committed to serving people from diverse cultural backgrounds and ages, helping them reclaim strengths and move toward their goals.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful connection. The therapist reflects what you share and helps you make sense of it, which can reduce overwhelm and make next steps clearer.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps you spot unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking and acting. It often includes small exercises or experiments to test new habits and reduce anxiety or low mood.
Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck about making changes. It uses focused questions to draw out a person’s own reasons for change and to strengthen commitment to goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with you to match methods to your goals, needs, and preferences rather than imposing one way of working. That means trying strategies, checking in on what helps, and adjusting the plan as you go.
Confirm the session formats available before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow a quieter or more flexible setup when that helps. It can also make brief check-ins or homework review simpler, which supports steady progress over time.
