Erin Lee , LCSW

Erin Lee is an Illinois-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of clinical experience. She earned a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago and holds an additional certification in mindfulness. Erin works primarily with people facing anxiety, depression, family conflict, parenting challenges, ADHD, and grief or loss, offering a steady, compassionate presence as clients explore what makes daily life feel difficult to manage.

Her therapeutic style combines solution-focused methods with dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness training. This blend supports clients in identifying the changes they want and taking practical, manageable steps toward those goals. Erin emphasizes accessible mindfulness and positive self-care strategies that can be woven into busy routines so progress feels achievable and sustainable.

During the summer months she offers a fast-track option aimed at quicker relief, recommending six focused sessions over a three-week span with a clear, specific goal in mind. That format uses a psychoeducational approach and actionable strategies designed for rapid skill building, and Erin notes it may not be the right fit for those seeking long-term therapy. She also offers LiveChat sessions for clients who prefer that convenient communication style.

Could Virtual Sessions Be a Good Fit?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can make a meaningful difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One of the largest advantages is flexibility - clients can connect with a therapist in the way that feels most comfortable, choosing video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options can make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy schedule. Licensed professionals provide these services, and clients may switch therapists at any time if they would like a different fit.
