About Gracia
Gracia Clark uses a mix of practical, evidence-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship struggles, and life changes. She offers direct but compassionate guidance and focuses on useful tools people can try between sessions. Gracia holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor credential, and she practices in Minnesota.
Gracia blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with cognitive and skills-based techniques to help clients build clearer goals and more flexible ways of coping.
How Gracia works
She also draws on attachment-focused work to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. Sessions are grounded in a client-centered stance so the person’s needs and values guide the pace and focus. Her experience includes six years working in varied clinical settings with people dealing with trauma, addiction, mood concerns, and relationship conflict.
That background informs a practical, down-to-earth style that balances empathy with honest feedback. Gracia aims to help clients notice what matters to them and take small, manageable steps toward change. Typical topics she addresses include depression, bipolar mood concerns, grief, parenting stresses, body-image and eating issues, and difficulties with intimacy and communication.
She also supports work on codependency, abandonment and attachment issues, chronic illness adjustment, and substance or behavioral addiction. People can expect sessions that are straightforward and warm. Gracia helps identify goals and teaches skills from ACT, CBT, and DBT so clients leave with things to try.
She invites collaboration and adjusts strategies based on each person’s situation.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and practice small actions that align with those values. It focuses on being present with difficult thoughts while choosing meaningful behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and communication and can help people shift repeated interactions that cause pain.Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will help identify goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what fits the person’s needs and preferences. That means sessions may mix ACT, CBT, attachment work, and client-centered techniques rather than sticking to one model.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, so people can pick what works for them. Video calls allow real-time conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy lives.
