Grace Baman

Grace Baman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oregon with 14 years of experience. She supports people facing grief, depression, anxiety, stress, relationship strain, identity questions, sleep problems, ADHD, bipolar concerns, trauma, and caregiver fatigue. Grace offers a steady, direct approach and aims to help clients regain a sense of purpose and balance in daily life.

She emphasizes practical work in sessions. Clients can expect guidance, tools, and straightforward feedback aimed at coping and problem solving. Grace speaks plainly about effort and progress, and she invites people who are ready to take an active role in their therapy.

Her practice draws on mindfulness methods alongside client-centered and cognitive behavioral ideas. Mindfulness work is used to help people notice stress responses and build calmer routines. Cognitive behavioral techniques support clearer thinking and behavior changes to reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression.

Grace also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing to help with emotion regulation and to strengthen motivation when decisions feel stuck. She sets boundaries in the therapy space and does not tolerate discriminatory or hateful language directed at any group.

Her style blends practical tools with personal support. Grace believes meaningful change comes from steady effort and realistic goals. She works collaboratively to help people move toward the life they envision for themselves.

How Grace uses approaches online and together with you

Mindfulness Therapy helps people learn simple attention and breathing habits to calm stress and notice hard moments without acting on them; this can be useful for anxiety, sleep trouble, and staying steady through changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding, and reflecting so people feel heard and can connect with their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and small behavior changes that reduce symptoms like low mood or excessive worry.

Choosing an approach is a team effort. Grace works with each person to try methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the plan stays practical and relevant to daily life.

The therapist's profile does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm available formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when needed. Some people prefer video for face-to-face conversation, while others choose audio-only for less screen time or lower bandwidth. Grace aims to make sessions fit into everyday life while focusing on steady, workable progress.
