Gracia Clark

Gracia Clark is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, grief, parenting strain, and questions about life purpose and self-esteem. Sessions focus on practical skills and honest conversation rather than vague platitudes. Gracia uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered work to address day-to-day problems. She aims to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck and practice different ways of responding. Expect clear feedback, gentle challenge, and skill-building in areas like emotion regulation and communication. She has experience supporting people with substance and behavioral addictions, bipolar disorder, depression, dissociation, and trauma-related difficulties. That experience includes helping people grieve losses, navigate separation or divorce, and handle family of origin issues. Gracia also addresses concerns tied to body image, eating, and intimacy-related problems. Her style balances direct guidance with a respectful tone. In sessions she often combines practical behavioral strategies with attention to attachment and values. Work can include exploring commitment concerns, codependency patterns, and decision points after major life changes.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them, notice unhelpful thoughts, and take small steps toward chosen values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life changes where action matters more than perfect clarity.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It works well for anxiety, depression, and patterns that keep someone stuck in avoidance or reactivity.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills in short, usable practices. This approach can help with intense emotions, relationship conflict, and self-destructive behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Gracia will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust techniques based on what helps. That collaborative planning happens in early sessions and is revisited as needed.

Session logistics and formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Some formats also reduce bandwidth demands or avoid video when that helps someone concentrate. Ask about available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule your first session.
