About Gracia

Gracia Clark is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping men and others navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, and mood concerns. She practices with a direct but gentle manner and aims to create a respectful space where people can talk through difficult issues and learn practical coping skills. Clark holds LPC and LPCC credentials and works with a range of concerns including trauma, grief, and identity-related matters.

With six years of clinical experience, she has supported people facing substance and behavioral addictions, PTSD, depression, and struggles with emotional regulation. Her approach mixes well-known therapeutic methods to match what each person needs. Sessions tend to balance warmth with clear feedback so clients can both process pain and try new ways of coping.

Clark often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and take meaningful steps toward their values. She also draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas to build stronger relationships and a trustworthy therapy alliance. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills may be used for emotional regulation when appropriate.

She practices in Minnesota and works in English. Cost varies with location and is managed through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Read through profile details and the Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

People looking to address parenting stress, body image, codependency, or chronic illness-related distress will find a pragmatic, supportive clinician who aims to make therapy useable in day-to-day life.

How Gracia blends approaches for online work

Gracia commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and behaviors to build more helpful habits and reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.

She also draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas to strengthen how people relate to others and to make therapy feel collaborative. Finding the right approach is part of the process; the therapist will work with each person to shape methods around their goals, needs, and preferences rather than imposing a single technique.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed in this profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also make it possible to practice skills in the environments where problems occur, and to follow up more steadily over time. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work to an online setting so that sessions stay practical and focused on daily life.
