About Grace

Grace Wolbrink brings 35 years of clinical experience to her practice in Michigan, working with clients who face trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, stress, and career or life transition challenges.

Background and approach

Grace is an LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) who has supported people through burnout, compassion fatigue, and the everyday struggles of seeking clarity and purpose. She has practiced in a variety of settings and integrates psychotherapy with practical coaching to help clients move from survival toward greater confidence and direction.

Her style is pragmatic and person-centered, combining evidence-informed methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with narrative and Jungian perspectives to explore meaning, patterns, and practical change. Grace emphasizes creating habits and mindsets that support sustainable progress rather than quick fixes.

Clients who appreciate an approach that blends therapeutic reflection with concrete tools for living will find her orientation helpful. Grace accepts international clients and offers sessions in English via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

She frames therapy as collaborative work - helping people clarify goals, identify obstacles, and take manageable steps toward the life they want.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches for Online Work

Grace often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and for building concrete coping strategies. She also uses Narrative Therapy to explore the stories people tell about their lives, helping clients reframe and reclaim meaning when grief, trauma, or transitions have altered their sense of self.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Grace works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in the moment, and she adjusts methods over time so therapy matches evolving needs and priorities.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access care from different locations. These formats provide flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, travel, or mobility considerations, while allowing therapists and clients to focus together on practical tools, narrative work, and cognitive strategies that support lasting change.
