About Gracia
Gracia Clark is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Minnesota with six years of counseling experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, and self-esteem. Gracia also lists focus on areas like body image, attachment and family of origin issues, eating-related concerns, and coping with life changes.
Gracia uses a straightforward and gentle approach in sessions. She balances warmth with direct feedback and is willing to bring up difficult truths when helpful. Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectual Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to match interventions to what a person needs in the moment.
In a typical session she helps people notice patterns that keep guilt or shame active, then practices ways to respond differently. She offers tools for stress and emotional regulation, and practical steps for repairing relationships or managing addictive behaviors. Conversations may include values clarification, thought and behavior experiments, and skill-building for tolerating distress.
Her background includes work across settings with people experiencing a range of mental health concerns and trauma. Gracia emphasizes clear, concrete skills alongside reflective work on attachment and interpersonal patterns. She works in English and serves clients in Minnesota.
To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed actions even when difficult feelings like guilt or shame appear. It uses simple exercises to notice thoughts and move toward chosen values rather than getting stuck in self-judgment.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In sessions this often means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing them with small behavioral experiments, and practicing alternative responses that reduce distress and improve functioning.
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of relating. This work helps people recognize repeating patterns in close relationships and try new, safer ways of connecting and asking for needs to be met.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gracia will discuss options and decide together which methods match a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative planning can shift over time as new issues come up or as skills develop.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Many clients find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. If video or phone is needed for lower bandwidth or less screen time, note that when completing the matching questionnaire so scheduling can reflect those preferences.
