About Grace
Grace Dushatinski welcomes people who are struggling with anxiety, stress, trauma, or big life changes. She is a social worker and medical doctor who brings 13 years of experience to her practice. Her plain, direct style helps clients feel heard and understood from the first meeting.
Grace focuses on practical skills for managing strong emotions and everyday challenges. She helps people build self-esteem, handle attention and focus concerns like ADHD, and cope after painful events.
How Grace works
She also supports issues that often overlap with these concerns, such as postpartum depression, social anxiety, and feelings of isolation. Her background includes work in school-based and clinical environments, where she supported young people facing anxiety and behavior challenges. That hands-on experience shaped how she approaches sessions now.
She uses conversation and simple, actionable activities to teach emotional regulation and communication skills. Grace keeps sessions warm and patient. She aims to make therapy feel straightforward rather than overwhelming.
Parents who are involved receive clear guidance and specific strategies they can try between meetings. People who choose Grace can expect a collaborative relationship focused on goals that matter to them. She will work with each person to build skills, reduce distress, and find clearer direction.
Sessions are offered online in English from her Maryland practice.

How Grace Uses Evidence-Based Tools Online
Grace draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on teaching skills people can use day to day. One common approach she uses emphasizes emotion regulation and coping skills to reduce anxiety and manage strong feelings. This involves learning step-by-step tools to notice emotions, slow down reactions, and practice new responses that help in stressful moments.Another frequent focus is behavioral strategies to improve attention, organization, and daily routines. These techniques break tasks into manageable steps, build consistent habits, and use simple tracking to see progress over time. They often help people with ADHD symptoms, life transitions, and motivation challenges.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Grace will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques as progress is made so sessions stay relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people connect face to face when discussion and visual cues matter. Phone sessions reduce bandwidth needs and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, ongoing skill practice, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while managing everyday life.
