About Gracia
Gracia Clark is a licensed professional counselor who blends relationship-focused work with practical talk therapy. She uses the Gottman Method alongside approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people handle relationship strain, anxiety, and life changes.
Background and approach
Gracia brings six years of counseling experience in a range of settings and presents a warm but direct presence in sessions. She favors clear, straightforward conversations.
Sessions are gentle but honest, with room to name hard truths when needed. Gracia helps people develop skills for emotion regulation and communication, and she supports those coping with trauma, grief, or addiction-related concerns.
Her background includes work across many common struggles, such as depression, bipolar challenges, body image concerns, and parenting stress. She also addresses attachment and family of origin issues, abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, and intimacy-related conflicts.
Gracia works with people managing chronic illness, pain, and codependency patterns. Gracia holds LPC and LPCC credentials in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
She conducts sessions in English and does not accept international clients. Her approach emphasizes collaboration: she and the client choose tools that match goals and daily life.
Practically, Gracia offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Therapy sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling is done through the platform’s matching and calendar tools.
Approaches That Guide Online Sessions
Gracia draws from the Gottman Method, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Attachment-Based Therapy in online work. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and relationship habits so partners can manage conflict and rebuild connection. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and commit to actions that match their values, which can ease anxiety and increase motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people develop safer, more supported ways of relating.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Gracia will talk with each person about goals, concerns, and what feels most helpful. Together they try different tools and adjust the plan based on what actually helps in day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues when that matters. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work for ongoing reflection between sessions or for people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments while using the methods that match the client's needs.
