About Grace

Grace Sherman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with ten years of experience. She works from Texas and offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, depression, anger, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. She uses straightforward, respectful conversation to help people sort through what feels overwhelming and identify practical next steps.

Grace brings compassion, sincerity, and an open mind to sessions. She believes clients know their lives best and that therapy is a cooperative effort.

Background and approach

Her style is collaborative and hopeful, focused on helping people notice strengths and try different approaches that fit their goals. Her background includes work with diverse groups and a range of situations, including mood disorders, family violence, incarceration, and relationship setbacks. That variety has shaped a flexible approach to meeting each person where they are.

Grace draws on several evidence-based methods to match tools to problems. In sessions she helps people uncover patterns, improve communication, and create manageable plans for change. She pays attention to family dynamics, attachment and blended family concerns, caregiver stress, and multicultural issues when these are relevant.

Conversations aim to reduce isolation and build clearer pathways forward. Therapy with Grace can include talk, problem-solving, and targeted exercises between sessions. She uses familiar techniques from cognitive work and narrative practices to reframe unhelpful thoughts and create new stories about painful experiences.

Her goal is steady progress and practical coping skills for day-to-day life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people feel heard and supported while they decide what changes to make. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and uses structured exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, helps people identify and change emotional patterns that affect relationships and bonding.

Choosing a therapy approach is a shared process. The therapist will learn about goals, preferences, and the issues at hand, then recommend methods to try. Sessions can blend approaches so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which add flexibility for busy schedules. These options let people continue care from home, coordinate with work or childcare, and follow up between sessions through messaging. For many, remote therapy makes it easier to try different tools and keep consistent progress with fewer logistical barriers.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
