About Grace

Grace Szeja greets visitors with warmth and clear purpose. She is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with ten years of practice and a calm, straightforward manner. Grace works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, trauma, parenting challenges, career uncertainty, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and identity questions including LGBT issues.

Her style is person-centered and practical. Sessions focus on what feels most urgent for the client and on building coping skills that can be used between meetings.

Background and approach

She blends talk-based work with creative activities when that fits a person's needs. Expect a mix of goal-focused strategies and time to reflect on meaning and values. Grace trained in hospital settings and has worked with a wide age range of people.

Before social work she had a career in fine arts, and she often brings creative tools into sessions like drawing, journaling, or clay to help people express feelings. Those activities are paired with cognitive behavioral techniques and skills drawn from Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She aims to meet each person with compassion and respect.

Grace pays attention to attachment history, family-of-origin patterns, and feelings of abandonment or emptiness when those themes show up. She also supports people dealing with midlife questions, life purpose struggles, and the transition into young adulthood. Outside of work she enjoys gardening, distance running, and hiking.

She uses she/her pronouns and conducts sessions in English from Florida. Grace welcomes international clients and brings a steady, creative approach to helping people move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. In sessions this looks like talking about connection, patterns with loved ones, and ways to feel safer in relationships; it can help with abandonment, attachment issues, and family of origin concerns. Client-centered therapy puts the person and their experience at the center. The therapist listens openly, reflects back what she hears, and supports clients in deciding their own next steps; this approach suits people needing acceptance and clear emotional support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It breaks down unhelpful thinking, builds new coping skills, and is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Grace collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She will adjust techniques over time based on what helps most and invites client input during the process.

Online therapy lets people access regular care with more flexibility. Video calls support face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a typed check-in, and text-based messaging allows short updates between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or caregiving and to use creative tools and skills practice between sessions.
