About Grace
Grace Baman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon with 14 years in mental health. She works with adults dealing with grief, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, stress, and life changes. Her practice also includes support for LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and issues around guilt and shame.
Grace writes plainly and focuses on practical goals. She encourages commitment to the work and offers tools and insights to help people cope with obstacles. Sessions involve straightforward conversations about what is happening now, clear skill-building, and steps you can try between meetings.
Her approach is grounded in client-centered care, which means she listens first and shapes the work around each person’s concerns. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills for handling strong emotions. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are part of her toolbox when those methods fit the person’s goals.
Grace makes clear boundaries about respect and discourages any abusive or hateful language in sessions. She aims to support people as they work toward living in a way that feels more like themselves. The emphasis is on practical change rather than labels or judgment.
Her background across community and clinical settings informs a focus on everyday challenges - sleep trouble, caregiver stress, relationship communication, work and career strain, and feelings of isolation. She asks for commitment to therapy and frames progress as work people do together, with Grace offering guidance and concrete strategies along the way.
How Grace blends approaches in online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and shaping the work around what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs a therapist who starts by understanding their story and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. Grace uses CBT to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to practice different ways of responding to stress, anxiety, guilt, or low mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT tools are useful when intense feelings or relationship conflicts get in the way of daily functioning.
Grace treats finding the right mix of approaches as a collaborative effort. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as the work progresses.
