Ms Anne Lee

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

“I am an experienced and compassionate therapist who works collaboratively with clients to meet their individual needs.”

About Me

I help individuals, couples, and families navigate complex emotions and strengthen their bonds. Together, we can gently explore communication patterns, uncover underlying dynamics, and develop practical strategies for lasting change. I offer a calm, supportive space where you can feel truly heard. This collaborative approach is ideal for those seeking to build deeper understanding and more fulfilling relationships within themselves and with loved ones.

Approach

I use a paced, practical style that pairs gentle curiosity with clear goals so you can notice patterns and try small changes between sessions. In Lake Forest I offer both in-person and secure online sessions in English, creating a predictable rhythm — focused check-ins, brief mindfulness experiments, and targeted skills practice. Sessions often combine thought-tracking, short behavioral experiments, and relational exercises to address anxiety, compulsions, body-image and transition challenges, with family moments included when they help. People facing addiction, eating concerns, life shifts, or stuck communication patterns tend to find this steady, hands-on way helpful.
