About Grace
Grace Vega is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) based in Massachusetts. She draws on three years of experience to help people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and difficult life changes. Grace writes straightforward plans and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day.
Her approach is warm and listening-first. She makes time to hear each person's story and builds goals from there. Sessions emphasize strengths and small, doable changes that add up over time.
Background and approach
Grace commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe problems and see different chapters of their lives. She also blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused techniques, and mindfulness tools to address thoughts, behaviors, and coping skills. These methods are chosen to match each person's needs rather than follow a fixed formula.
She has experience with concerns that include family and parenting stress, adoption and foster care issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, intimacy questions, and ADHD-related challenges. She helps people sort through relationship tension and caregiver stress with clear, goal-oriented work. Sessions may include short practical exercises, conversational reflection, and skills practice to try between meetings.
Grace encourages people to see therapy as a collaborative process where goals are checked and adjusted as progress happens. Her style is supportive, steady, and focused on real-life results.

Online session options
How Narrative and Practical Methods Work Online
Grace often combines Narrative Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people tell different stories about their experiences and then change the thoughts and actions that keep them stuck. Narrative Therapy focuses on separating a person from their problems and looking for alternative stories that fit their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and teaches concrete skills to test and change them.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. This collaborative process means approaches are chosen to match what the person needs rather than used automatically.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues and work more like an in-person visit. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities and let people pick the format that fits their routine.
