About Grace
LCSW in California and Arizona with ten years of clinical social work experience, based in Florida. Grace Szeja works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, relationship and parenting challenges, trauma and grief, ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and LGBT-related concerns.
Grace draws on client-centered practice alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She also uses attachment-based and existential ideas to help people notice patterns and make different choices. Her style includes expressive creative exercises such as drawing, journaling, sand tray work, clay and zendoodling to support talking and learning new coping skills.
Grace spent substantial time working in a hospital setting early in her career and says she has experience with a wide age range of people. She brings ten years of practice to sessions and describes her work as focused on helping people change thinking patterns, build coping skills, and recognize internal and external resources.
Practical goals in sessions can include reducing distressing symptoms, managing intense emotions, navigating life transitions, and addressing family of origin or attachment wounds. Grace also lists additional focus areas such as abandonment, emptiness, guilt and shame, life purpose, midlife concerns, and young adult issues.
Outside of clinical work she has a background in fine arts and continues creative interests like gardening, running, and hiking. She uses she/her pronouns and conducts therapy in English. To start, readers are invited to use the platform matching flow and schedule an initial session.

How her approaches translate to online work
Grace commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help when emotions feel overwhelming.Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. Grace will work with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation is part of the first sessions and can shift as progress is made.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by shortening check-ins on busy days, avoiding travel time, or choosing sessions that do not require being on camera. Licensed professionals can still use expressive tools in remote sessions by adapting art exercises or journal prompts so they fit a client’s rhythm and environment.
