About Gracia
Gracia uses several evidence-informed approaches to guide sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice unhelpful thought patterns and on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live by their values. She also uses attachment-based and client-centered ideas to build trust and clarity in relationships.
Her background includes work in a variety of clinical settings with people facing substance and behavioral addictions, trauma, PTSD, mood concerns, and challenges with emotional regulation. She has six years of counseling experience and supports people dealing with grief, parenting strain, body image, and family of origin issues among other concerns.
In sessions she aims to be caring and straightforward. She offers tools and practices people can use between meetings. Gracia helps clients tackle communication problems, codependency, commitment worries, and the everyday habits that get in the way of change.

How her approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and patterns that keep people stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and habits, which can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and improve daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people build clearer, healthier ways of relating.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust plans as needs change, so work feels practical and tailored.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can still fit into busy lives by making appointments easier to schedule around work, school, or caregiving. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight, or sessions without video when bandwidth or energy is limited. Licensed professionals can use these options to help people practice skills between meetings and to focus on changing thoughts and everyday habits in real life.
