Gretchen Graham , LPC

Gretchen Graham is a Licensed Professional Counselor with six years of experience practicing in Arkansas. She focuses on supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Gretchen also addresses relationship and parenting concerns and helps clients navigate intimacy and self-esteem struggles.

She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions tend to be straightforward and warm, with an emphasis on listening and practical next steps. Clients can expect a calm, patient presence and help making sense of what feels overwhelming.

Gretchen draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person's needs. She uses cognitive-behavioral ideas to notice unhelpful thinking. She also uses attachment-informed work to look at how relationships shape current struggles. Mindfulness and acceptance strategies can help when worry or rumination hold someone back.

Her additional focus areas include adoption and foster care concerns, blended family dynamics, postpartum mood changes, and issues tied to shame or guilt. She also supports people dealing with panic attacks, social anxiety, eating-related concerns, and questions about life purpose.

People looking for help with women's issues will find that topic among her areas of attention. Gretchen offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text messaging to fit different schedules and needs. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that works for them.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Gretchen often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take steps that match their values. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past and current relationship patterns affect connection and trust in close relationships. A third strand in her work is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that keep stress and anxiety going.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Gretchen will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. From there she tailors techniques and checks in regularly so the plan can shift as needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make counseling more flexible. Video calls let people keep the feel of face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a break or require less bandwidth, and chat or text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain momentum between sessions.
