About Grace
Grace Baman is a Licensed Professional Counselor from Oregon with 14 years of experience. She works with people facing grief, anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and communication challenges, and issues related to identity and life purpose. She also supports those coping with trauma, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, sleep difficulties, and compassion fatigue.
Grace approaches therapy as collaborative work. She uses clear tools and teaching rather than long lectures. Sessions focus on practical steps, skills to manage emotions, and small changes that add up over time.
Background and approach
She asks questions, listens closely, and helps clients set realistic goals. Her clinical approach includes client-centered methods that prioritize the person's goals and experience. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify patterns of thought and behavior, and on dialectical behavior strategies for emotional regulation.
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are added when they fit someone’s needs. Grace is direct about boundaries and respectful treatment in the therapy room. She will not tolerate abusive or demeaning language toward any group.
Those limits are part of keeping sessions focused and safe for growth. People who choose Grace can expect a steady focus on practical coping skills and clearer direction toward their goals. She emphasizes commitment to the work and offers support while challenging unhelpful patterns.
If you want a therapist who combines warmth with straightforward tools, she aims to provide that balance.
How her approaches translate online
Client-centered work focuses on the person's goals and experiences. Online sessions using this approach center the conversation on what matters most to the client and adapt tools to their daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches skills to change them; online CBT often includes homework and practical exercises to use between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication; its skills can be practiced in real situations and then reviewed in therapy.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking how they work, and adjusting over time so the plan stays useful.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten check-ins when time is tight, or use exercises and handouts that people can review between meetings. Many people find it easier to practice new skills in their day-to-day settings and then bring what happened back to therapy for discussion.
