She also draws on attachment-informed perspectives to improve connection and emotional regulation. Sessions are intended to be practical and readable. Gracia offers clear coping strategies for cravings, overwhelming emotions, and communication problems.
She addresses eating and body-image issues, codependency, chronic illness and pain, and the fallout from divorce, separation, or domestic violence.

Narrative and Practical Approaches for Online Care
Gracia blends narrative work with acceptance and commitment ideas and attachment-informed perspectives to help people make meaningful change. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from the problems they face by examining the stories that shape their choices and identity. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions, useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based approaches look at patterns in relationships and emotional bonds to improve communication and regulation.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Gracia will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversations for deeper processing, phone calls can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth, and chat or messaging work well for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different ways of connecting until the best match is found.
