01About Gracia
Gracia Clark is a licensed professional counselor with experience helping people navigate anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship struggles. She uses clear, direct language and a warm manner to make therapy approachable for parents and individuals feeling overwhelmed. Gracia offers practical tools and steady support for people coping with life changes and painful losses.
Gracia combines several therapy styles to match each person's needs. She leans on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and build new skills.
Background and approach
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients notice painful thoughts without getting stuck by them and reconnect with values that matter. She also uses attachment-informed work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That approach is useful when intimacy, abandonment, or family of origin issues cause repeated pain.
Gracia’s style is gentle but direct - she will both listen and point out patterns that matter. Her background includes counseling across multiple clinical settings, working with people facing trauma, substance addiction, and emotional regulation problems. Gracia has six years of professional experience and practices as an LPC and LPCC in Minnesota.
Sessions focus on skills that can be used between meetings. Typical topics include coping with stress, managing mood swings, improving communication, and addressing eating or body image concerns. Gracia aims to give clear steps so progress feels tangible and doable.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck by them. It emphasizes taking small, values-based steps even when emotions are difficult and can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing concrete skills to change behavior and mood, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and some eating concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, values, and day-to-day needs. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for longer sessions and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be quieter and use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or people who prefer writing. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into school, work, or busy parenting routines.
