Erin Lee, LCSW

Erin Lee is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of experience helping people in Illinois navigate anxiety, depression, family conflict, parenting challenges, ADHD, and grief. She holds a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Illinois at Chicago and an additional certification in mindfulness, and she brings those trainings together to create a calm, compassionate environment where clients can examine the obstacles that make life feel overwhelming.

Her practice emphasizes a solution-focused orientation enriched with elements of dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness training. This blend supports clients in clarifying the changes they want and taking manageable steps toward those goals. Erin encourages practical mindfulness and self-care strategies that are straightforward to implement so people can notice meaningful shifts without adding complexity to already busy lives.

For those seeking faster relief, she offers a focused summer fast-track option that typically involves six sessions across a three-week span with a clearly defined goal and a psychoeducational approach that emphasizes actionable techniques. That brief model is intended for short-term, goal-directed work rather than long-term therapy. Erin also offers a LiveChat option, which she has found to be a convenient and comfortable way for many people to engage in therapy.
