About Grace
Grace Chou is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland with 21 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting, grief, trauma and abuse, and career and life transitions. She provides therapy in English and Mandarin and works with people from diverse cultural backgrounds.
Grace uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage overwhelming thoughts and feelings. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to teach skills for coping with distress and shifting unhelpful thinking. She also uses mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing to support decision making and steadier emotion regulation.
People come to her for everyday problems at home and work - communication breakdowns, caregiver stress, low self-esteem, and the strain of parenting. She helps clients identify small, doable steps they can take between sessions, and tracks what works so adjustments can be made. Sessions include both listening and active skill practice.
Her background includes long experience working with multicultural concerns, young adult issues, and workplace stress. That experience informs how she discusses money worries, life purpose, and shifting family roles. She pays attention to how culture and family expectations shape choices and emotions.
To start, Grace asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How Grace blends evidence-based methods in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking steps that matter, which can be useful for parenting decisions, career shifts, and grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them, often helping with anxiety, low mood, and workplace stress. Mindfulness Therapy offers short practices to steady attention and reduce reactivity, supporting clearer responses during heated family moments.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day constraints. That means the plan can be adjusted if a technique does not fit or a new priority emerges.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Over time these practical benefits help people add consistent skill practice into ordinary life while the therapist and client track progress together.
