   About Grace

   Grace Baman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oregon. She has nearly 14 years of experience in mental health and approaches counseling as a collaborative process. Grace offers a steady presence and practical tools to help people facing grief, anxiety, depression, stress, relationship struggles, ADHD, and other life challenges.

   Grace listens without judgment and focuses on what matters most to each person. She values direct conversation and clear steps that support daily life. Her style combines warmth with honest feedback so clients can move toward real goals.

   She uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs, including Motivational Interviewing, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, and mindfulness practices. These approaches guide conversations about motivation, thoughts and behaviors, emotional regulation, and present-moment awareness.

   Grace often helps people working through caregiver strain, commitment and communication problems, family of origin issues, forgiveness, and feelings of isolation. She also supports those managing mood disorders, trauma reactions, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue. Sessions focus on practical coping skills, clearer thinking patterns, and steps that fit daily life.

   If someone is ready to start, Grace asks for commitment to the process and a willingness to try new skills. She aims to be a steady guide while clients do the active work of change. Her approach is straightforward, supportive, and focused on helping people feel more like themselves again.

2. How Grace blends her approaches for online therapy

   Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation and clarify goals, which can help with ambivalence about career moves, recovery, or habit change.
   
   Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience. The therapist listens, mirrors feelings, and supports the client’s autonomy so decisions come from the client rather than being directed by the therapist. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and a clearer sense of direction.
   
   Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches skills to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep issues.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the work. Grace will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time in a collaborative way.
   
   Confirm the specific online session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that talking through motivation, practicing new thinking patterns, and learning emotional skills translates well to remote sessions with a licensed professional.
