About Lye
Lye Fong Lee is an ACA counsellor who uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma, low self-esteem and depression. She speaks English, Mandarin, Malay and Cantonese and aims to make sessions easy to follow and grounded in everyday life. She blends cognitive behavioural ideas with mindfulness, solution-focused tools and strengths-based counselling to help people handle difficult feelings.
Sessions focus on small, doable steps that build confidence and improve communication.
How Lye works
The goal is clearer thinking and steadier routines rather than complicated theory. Her background includes individual counselling, couples counselling and Employee Assistance Program support. She has also provided counselling related to WorkSafe Victoria referrals and has practised online telehealth with clients from a range of cultural backgrounds.
Across sessions she prioritises practical coping strategies for stress and trauma, improving relationships and lifting motivation. People often work on communication skills, managing intrusive thoughts, and building emotional resilience. With five years of professional experience, Lye Fong keeps things straightforward and collaborative.
She explains options clearly and helps people choose approaches that fit their life and goals. To get started people can use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How evidence-based approaches work online
She commonly draws on cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness-based practices. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at how thoughts and behaviours influence mood and then build small, practical changes to reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to ease stress and interrupt reactivity.She also uses solution-focused and strengths-based techniques that focus on immediate goals and usable strategies. These approaches help people identify what’s already working and step-by-step ways to improve communication, motivation and coping with past hurt.
Finding the best therapeutic approach is a team effort. The counsellor will discuss options and tailor strategies to each person’s goals, needs and preferences. This collaborative process helps people try approaches that fit their daily life and evaluate what helps most.
The biography notes prior experience with online telehealth, but it does not list specific session formats here. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or caregiving, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Appropriately qualified therapists can adapt exercises, homework and communication techniques to work well in remote appointments.
