Grace Baman, LPC

Grace Baman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oregon who helps people facing grief, anxiety, depression, stress, and caregiver strain. She supports clients dealing with relationship concerns like communication and commitment issues, as well as life changes such as divorce, career shifts, and parenting strain. Grace also works with people managing trauma, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue. She welcomes conversations about LGBT and women’s issues and focuses on restoring a sense of purpose and self-worth.

Grace brings 14 years of experience in mental health to her work. She aims to be straightforward and practical in sessions, offering tools and insights people can use between meetings. Her approach is collaborative: she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set realistic goals. She emphasizes active participation and believes therapy requires work from both sides.

In sessions Grace draws from Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful space and from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change patterns that cause distress. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness exercises for managing intense emotions and building coping skills. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused strategies help with goal setting and keeping momentum.

Grace makes clear boundaries about respectful communication and will not accept hate or denigration of any group within the therapeutic relationship. She encourages people who are ready to commit to change to reach out and begin the process of finding balance and relief.

To begin, clients follow the platform’s Start Therapy steps to match, schedule, and begin working toward their goals with her support.

How her approaches fit with online therapy

Grace uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, listening-focused space where clients set the pace and priorities. This approach helps people who need to feel heard and regain a sense of agency in their lives. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) gives concrete ways to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness practices teach emotion regulation and grounding techniques for intense or overwhelming feelings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. She will help clients identify which methods match their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan over time. The process is collaborative and goal-oriented, with practical tools introduced when they are useful.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, such as allowing appointments during a work break, avoiding travel time, or choosing check-ins that are shorter when needed. It also lets clients practice skills in their usual settings and bring real-life situations into sessions for problem solving.
