About Grace
Grace Baman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon with 14 years of experience. She works with people facing grief, depression, anxiety, stress, bipolar symptoms, and struggles around self-esteem, sleep, ADHD, and life purpose. She also supports clients dealing with trauma and abuse, LGBT-related concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Grace frames therapy as focused, practical work. She asks people what matters to them and what feels out of reach. She offers insights and tools to help with coping, problem solving, and moving toward the life a client wants to live. She is straightforward about the effort involved and what a client might expect to put into the process.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person nd on cognitive behavioral techniques that look at thoughts and behaviors together. She also uses DBT skills and mindfulness strategies when emotional regulation or stress reduction is a focus. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas appear when clients want clear next steps or to map a change plan.
Grace makes clear boundaries about respectful behavior in sessions and does not accept hateful or abusive language related to race, culture, religion, ability, sexual orientation, gender identity, or political belief. She takes a firm stance on equality and respect as part of professional work.
People who want help sorting out life changes, career questions, relationship patterns, or a renewed sense of purpose may find practical guidance here. To begin, she asks clients to consider what they want to work on and to be ready to engage in active therapeutic work.
Approaches used in remote sessions and how they help
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. It helps people clarify values, notice what gets in the way, and set meaningful goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors feed problems. It gives concrete tools to change thinking patterns and build routines that support mood and functioning. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships; it can be helpful for people who feel overwhelmed or who cycle between intense states.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Grace will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their current needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change over time as goals evolve and new challenges come up.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people choose remote sessions because they fit more easily into work and family schedules, allow shorter check-ins on busy days, or remove travel time. When a session involves only audio, it can be simpler on bandwidth and less demanding than video. Grace aims to make therapy fit into everyday life while focusing on clear coping strategies and steps toward meaningful goals.
