About Grace

Grace Mallett is a licensed social worker in Michigan who uses a practical, person-centered style. She leans on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, family tension, and self-esteem struggles. Grace speaks plainly and focuses on small, doable steps that fit daily life.

She brings 19 years of professional experience to sessions. That experience includes helping people cope with major life changes, process grief, and work through anger and relationship challenges.

Background and approach

She also addresses issues such as codependency, commitment concerns, and feelings of isolation. In a session with Grace, conversation is the starting point. She listens first and then helps shape practical strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Sessions often include skill-building, problem solving, and short-term plans to address immediate stressors. Grace emphasizes client strengths and respects each person’s pace. She encourages clients to notice small wins and build on them over time.

Her coaching orientation supports people who want clear tools along with supportive guidance. Practical matters such as work-life balance, body image worries, and impulsivity are approached with straightforward techniques. Grace also works with people facing aging and geriatric issues, attachment concerns, infidelity, and intellectual disability related challenges.

Her tone is direct but compassionate, aimed at helping people move forward step by step.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, respect, and helping clients find their own solutions. In online sessions Grace will prioritize understanding each person’s story and goals before suggesting steps forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to change how someone feels. Online CBT sessions often include short exercises, thought records, and action plans tailored to everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Grace treats the choice of methods as a collaborative decision. She will talk with clients about goals and preferences and then combine listening and practical skills in a way that fits the person’s needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and for people who live far from a clinician. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging give alternatives when video is not convenient. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to use tools between sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
