About Grace
Grace Chou is an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Maryland with 21 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, career concerns, and the upheavals that come with life changes. She also focuses on trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, and issues common in young adulthood.
Grace uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to help people handle immediate problems. Sessions typically involve clear goals, practical strategies, and skills practice. She draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based work to help clients notice patterns and try alternative responses.
Her background includes long-term clinical work with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. That experience informs how she approaches concerns about identity, multicultural stress, and communication problems. She also supports caregivers facing burnout and people dealing with workplace stress or money worries.
In therapy she blends client-centered listening with mindfulness and motivational interviewing. That means she pays attention to what matters to each person, helps clarify motivation for change, and teaches simple mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity. Sessions can include talking, practical exercises, and homework to test new ways of coping.
Grace speaks English and Mandarin. International clients may be accepted. To start, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session to see if the fit feels right.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and decisions about career or relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns and testing new behaviors through small experiments and homework. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, and social or workplace worries.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to clarify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan over time. Sessions combine listening with practical exercises and agreed steps to practice between meetings to see what helps.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let someone choose a quieter room or use audio-only if video feels difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT techniques to work well in remote sessions, using guided exercises, worksheets, and goal tracking to keep progress focused.
