About Jayci

Jayci Grisafe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 15 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and helps people build motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. Jayci aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak openly about what matters to them.

She frames seeking help as a brave first step toward a fuller life and offers steady support along the way.

Background and approach

In sessions she listens first, then works with each person to set clear, achievable goals. Conversations are practical and grounded. Clients can expect straightforward talk about feelings, patterns, and small changes to try between meetings.

She addresses common struggles such as communication problems, control issues, and caregiver stress with concrete strategies rather than abstract theory. Jayci also helps people facing abandonment and attachment wounds, guilt and shame, or isolation and loneliness. She brings attention to life transitions, midlife questions, and finding purpose.

When trauma shows up as post-traumatic stress, she helps clients name its impact and take manageable steps toward feeling steadier. Her work includes support around forgiveness, building self-love, and navigating workplace pressures. Sessions are tailored to the person in front of her, not a one-size-fits-all plan.

Jayci combines compassionate listening with practical tools so clients leave with clearer next steps and a stronger sense of momentum.

Online approaches that fit family and life changes

Jayci uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common method is skills-focused work that teaches tools for managing anxiety and stress, like paced breathing, grounding, and breaking tasks into small steps. These skills aim to reduce worry and improve day-to-day functioning.

She also uses relational and attachment-informed approaches to help people notice patterns in relationships and communication. That work helps when family dynamics, abandonment wounds, or trust issues make it hard to connect or to set boundaries. The emphasis is on recognizing patterns and trying new, small behaviors to shift relationship cycles.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Jayci will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan as needed so the work stays relevant and achievable.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Sessions are available by video call or phone when people prefer spoken conversation. Live chat and text-based messaging provide another option for check-ins, shorter conversations, or when scheduling is tight. These formats make regular work possible while fitting around family and other responsibilities.
