About Gretchen

Gretchen Graham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arkansas with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship challenges, alongside family and parenting concerns.

Background and approach

Gretchen emphasizes a welcoming, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can explore difficult feelings and patterns that affect daily life and relationships. Her work often addresses intimacy-related struggles, self-esteem and coping with major life changes, and she brings attention to issues tied to adoption and foster care, attachment and blended family dynamics.

Gretchen integrates evidence-informed approaches to support clients coping with panic, postpartum transitions, eating concerns, social anxiety, and women’s specific issues. She encourages the courage it takes to begin therapy and partners with clients to build practical skills and clearer priorities moving forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies to change behaviors and reduce symptoms like anxiety and panic. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combines acceptance strategies with values-based action to help people live more meaningfully despite difficult emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relational patterns formed early in life and how they influence current relationships, which can be useful for family, parenting, and intimacy-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Gretchen works collaboratively with clients to determine the best fit. She listens to each person's goals and preferences, then uses elements from these methods to create a plan that aligns with their needs and values rather than prescribing a single modality.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into a busy life. These formats allow for consistent support when in-person visits are impractical and let clients continue work on skills and coping strategies across different settings and schedules.
