About Grace
Grace Szeja is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and life transitions. She also supports those coping with trauma, grief, parenting pressures, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and LGBTQ issues. Grace uses a direct, compassionate style and common-sense language to make therapy feel practical and approachable.
She brings ten years of clinical experience that include hospital work and time helping people across a wide age range.
How Grace works
Grace values meeting clients where they are and focuses on everyday tools that change how people think and act. Sessions often include talk therapy combined with simple skills practice and creative activities. Her approach blends attachment-based and client-centered ideas with cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior strategies.
That means she pays attention to relationship patterns, listens closely to each person, and helps shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on existential ideas to help people find meaning when life feels uncertain. Grace often integrates art and expressive activities such as drawing, journaling, sand tray work, and clay to help people access feelings they cannot yet name.
Those creative methods are paired with practical CBT exercises and DBT skill work to build better coping and emotional regulation. Outside of work she enjoys gardening, distance running, and hiking. Grace uses she/her pronouns and practices from Florida as a clinician with California and Arizona LCSW credentials.

How her approaches work online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and trust. Online sessions using this approach help people notice those patterns and practice new ways of relating in everyday life. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration; the therapist follows the person's lead and helps them clarify values, needs, and choices. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Grace will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to use. That collaborative plan can change over time as needs evolve and new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers flexibility that can fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face connection and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when a quieter or lower-bandwidth option is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, homework support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to maintain regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and fit therapy into work, school, or travel schedules.
