About Gracia
Gracia Clark brings a cognitive behavioral lens to her counseling work, blending practical skills with empathetic support to address a wide range of concerns.
Background and approach
She holds LPC and LPCC credentials and has six years of clinical experience in settings that included support for addictions, anxiety, depression, trauma-related difficulties, and relationship problems. Gracia favors a straightforward yet compassionate approach that helps clients build skills for emotional regulation, manage symptoms, and navigate life transitions.
Gracia pairs CBT techniques with acceptance and commitment strategies, attachment-focused understanding, client-centered listening, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy when helpful. She offers a caring, nonjudgmental environment while remaining willing to challenge unhelpful patterns and explore difficult material respectfully.
Her practice addresses many issues including stress, eating and body image concerns, grief, intimacy-related difficulties, parenting challenges, bipolar and mood concerns, and substance or behavioral addictions. Based in Minnesota, she conducts sessions in English and provides services through several online formats.
Gracia emphasizes collaborative work that helps clients identify values, build practical coping tools, and move toward meaningful change at a pace that fits their needs.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Gracia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building. CBT is commonly applied to anxiety, depression, stress, and many behavior-related concerns where concrete strategies and homework can support measurable changes.She also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes values-guided action and learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT can be useful for people coping with chronic stress, grief, or persistent worry who want to live more consistently with their values. Attachment-Based Therapy is another area she integrates when relationship patterns and early attachment experiences are relevant, helping clients understand how relational histories shape current interactions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Gracia works collaboratively with clients to tailor strategies based on individual needs, goals, and preferences. She listens for what resonates and adjusts techniques so the work feels useful and manageable.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue care from different locations within her service area. These formats support ongoing skill practice, brief check-ins, and full-session work while allowing clients to choose the communication style that best supports their progress.
