Grace Grams , LPC

Grace Grams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oregon with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and LGBTQ concerns. Grace emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion when meeting each person she works with.

She adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit a person’s unique situation. That means practical steps and clear goals rather than a one-size-fits-all checklist. Grace aims to make the process feel manageable and understandable, especially when someone is overwhelmed.

Her background includes supporting people through life changes and relational struggles. She also addresses issues such as panic attacks, mood disorders, social anxiety, isolation, and sexuality. Women’s issues are listed among her focus areas, and she brings that perspective into sessions where it fits the client’s needs.

Grace works with feelings like guilt, shame, and difficulty forgiving oneself or others. She helps people rebuild self-worth and practice self-love through steady, realistic steps. Her work includes attention to communication problems that get in the way of day-to-day life.

The first meetings typically clarify current concerns and set short-term goals. From there she and the client choose practical strategies to try between sessions. The tone in sessions is supportive and encouraging, aimed at empowering people to make changes that feel right for them.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Grace uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the concern at hand. One common approach focuses on managing anxiety and panic by teaching breathing, grounding, and stepwise exposure to feared situations to reduce avoidance and build confidence. Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed care, where the work is paced to help a person feel steadier, process distressing memories, and learn coping strategies for triggers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist reviews goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up, then recommends techniques to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made or needs shift.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can fit quick check-ins or short workday breaks. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep consistent momentum between appointments.
