Grace Borneman

Grace Borneman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 15 years of practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes. Grace also focuses on issues like self-esteem, social anxiety, guilt and shame, isolation, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose.

Grace keeps sessions practical and direct. She helps people name what feels stuck and try small, concrete steps to change it. Conversations look at patterns of thought, painful memories, and day-to-day habits that keep problems going. She offers ways to practice self-acceptance and to reduce avoidance that strengthens anxiety and loneliness.

Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood and trauma symptoms. She teaches strategies for coping with overwhelming emotions and for repairing the effects of shame or guilt. When appropriate she guides people through exercises that promote forgiveness and rebuild connections to values and meaning.

Grace often supports people who are rethinking careers, relationships, or life direction. She helps clients weigh choices, test new behaviors, and settle on steps that fit their lives. Sessions can include skills practice, behavioral experiments, and reflective conversation about identity and purpose.

People meet her when they want clear, steady help sorting next steps rather than quick fixes. She asks concrete questions, suggests manageable practices, and reviews progress over time. To begin, prospective clients use the site sign-up flow to match and schedule an initial session.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions

Grace uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage mood and trauma. Cognitive-behavioral approaches look at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teach skills to shift unhelpful patterns. These methods suit anxiety, depression, social anxiety, and difficulties that come from life changes.

Trauma-informed strategies focus on understanding how painful events affect present reactions and on learning ways to regulate strong emotions. Practical exercises may include grounding work and paced exposure to reduce avoidance and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Grace collaborates with each client to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. She reviews what’s helping and adjusts techniques as needs change, keeping the plan flexible and focused on small, testable steps.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions helpful for keeping continuity during life transitions and for trying out new ways of coping in real time.
