About Grace
Grace Baman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon with 14 years of experience. She focuses on grief, anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, career concerns, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, ADHD, sleep problems, and LGBT-related issues. Her approach is practical and work-focused; she helps people notice patterns that cause distress and learn different ways of responding.
Grace uses clear skill-building alongside conversation. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to track thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She also uses client-centered methods to listen and DBT and mindfulness tools for regulating emotions and handling intense moments.
Sessions aim to identify small, testable changes people can try between meetings. Grace encourages homework that fits daily life, such as thought records, behavioral experiments, and short mindfulness practices. She describes therapy as active work that asks for effort and follow-through.
Her stance on respect and equality is firm. She does not tolerate abusive or denigrating language toward people based on race, religion, culture, ability, gender identity, sexual orientation, or political views. That expectation is part of how she maintains productive sessions.
Grace also pays attention to life roles and practical stressors like caregiver strain, communication problems, commitment issues, and divorce or separation. She helps people clarify goals around life purpose, relationships, parenting stresses, and work choices.
People who choose to work with Grace should expect collaborative problem-solving, concrete skills practice, and ongoing review of what is and isn’t working. She supports clients in measuring progress and adjusting plans to better meet goals.
How her approaches translate to online work
Grace commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT involves setting clear goals, using thought records, and trying short behavioral experiments to see what changes help. It is suited to issues like anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and career stress.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting so a person can clarify goals and values. Additionally, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness exercises are used to manage intense emotions, handle interpersonal conflict, and build distress-tolerance strategies.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and day-to-day life, and she adjusts plans based on what proves helpful. Therapy is framed as a practical experiment rather than a fixed formula.
Confirm the session formats she currently offers before booking. Ask about scheduling, time zones, and any format-specific details you need to plan. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed, but be sure the chosen format fits your routine and comfort with video or phone interactions.
