About Zoe
Zoe Citrowske Lee is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) based in Minnesota. She draws on five years of clinical experience and a background in psychology and women and gender studies. Zoe brings a direct, compassionate style and aims to make therapy feel approachable for people who are nervous about starting.
She notes her own experience as a member of the LGBTQ community as part of the foundation for her work.
How Zoe works
Zoe focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship concerns, and LGBTQ-related issues. She also gives attention to attachment struggles, body image, caregiver strain, chronic pain and illness, guilt and shame, post-traumatic stress, and sexuality. Sessions tend to be collaborative and straightforward, with an emphasis on practical steps and clear goals.
In session she emphasizes transparency and respect. Conversations are guided by curiosity rather than judgment. The therapist and client work together to set aims and test small changes between meetings.
Her academic path included undergraduate degrees in psychology and women and gender studies, followed by graduate social work study at St. Catherine University. Zoe continues professional learning to refine her practice and respond to evolving needs.
People who prefer a direct, empathetic therapist who centers identity and social context may find her style a good fit. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Two evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used to address the kinds of concerns listed here are trauma-informed care and identity-affirming work. Trauma-informed care focuses on understanding how past harm affects present thoughts, feelings, and behavior and on building safety and pacing in sessions. Identity-affirming work centers a person's lived experience and helps with self-acceptance, navigating stigma, and relationship concerns. A second helpful approach is skills-focused coaching for anxiety and stress. This involves learning simple coping skills, trying them between sessions, and adjusting what works. It is practical and goal-oriented, which can help with day-to-day overwhelm and improving mood. Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they react to different strategies. Together they will decide what to try first and make adjustments as needed. Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that fits a person's schedule. Licensed professionals can work with clients to match pace, tools, and practical arrangements so therapy fits into everyday life.Start online instead of waiting
