About Pam
Pam Grzech is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 30 years of experience. She focuses on concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief, parenting questions, anger, depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflict, sleep problems, self-esteem, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She uses a client-centered way of working and draws on several therapeutic approaches to help people make changes.
Pam starts by asking what the person wants to work on and listening without a preset agenda. If someone is unsure about goals, she helps them clarify what matters most and sets small, practical steps. Sessions focus on noticing patterns, trying specific new responses, and reviewing what does and does not help.
Her practice includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to test new coping strategies. She also uses EMDR and trauma-focused methods when trauma is central, and psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring relationship patterns. These approaches are used alongside a client-centered stance where the person’s priorities guide the work.
Pam’s background includes clinical social work and years of nursing practice, including hospice care, which shaped her listening and support skills. That mix of social work and nursing experience informs how she talks about grief, life changes, and caring for others.
People who come to her can expect straightforward, practical conversations about current problems. The emphasis is on concrete steps, tracking progress, and adjusting the plan as needed.
How Pam blends approaches for online work
Pam uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and then test small behavior changes in everyday life. CBT sessions focus on clear goals, practice tasks between meetings, and reviewing what helps most. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for clients where traumatic memories are a clear focus. EMDR is a structured method that works with memory processing to reduce emotional intensity around past events. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her way of working too, which means the client’s priorities guide the pace and topics of sessions. Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. The plan can shift over time based on how the client responds. Confirm current session options before booking, since formats were not specified in the provided biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a daily routine - for example, sessions can be scheduled across a lunch break or after work, and shorter check-ins are sometimes possible when time is limited. Phone-only or lower-bandwidth options can reduce the need for video but please verify what is offered when arranging the first appointment.Areas of expertise
