About Grace
Grace Sterling-Odom is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey with 27 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, grief, depression, eating issues, parenting strain, self-esteem, and career questions. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.
Her background includes long-term clinical work helping people cope with loss and manage mood challenges, including bipolar disorder and postpartum depression. She also supports those dealing with compulsions, panic attacks, phobias, and obsessive thoughts, and she addresses issues around body image and eating.
In sessions she focuses on clear conversation and practical steps. She talks through patterns related to attachment, communication problems, infidelity, divorce and separation, and impulsivity. Work may include exploring forgiveness, guilt, shame, and life purpose when those topics come up.
Grace offers coaching-style support for career concerns and helps people recognize compassion fatigue, especially for those in demanding roles. She brings a steady, problem-focused approach to help clients build coping skills and make day-to-day changes.

How sessions work
Evidence-based approaches and how they work online
Grace uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. This type of work helps with panic attacks, low mood, and repetitive worries by teaching clear coping skills and step-by-step practice.Another approach emphasizes stabilizing mood and building routines for people with bipolar disorder or significant mood swings. That work typically looks at daily patterns, sleep, activity, and small behavioral changes that support steadier mood over time.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review goals, symptoms, and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process allows adjustments if something is not helpful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into a busy life. It can shorten commute time, allow check-ins during a lunch break, or let someone connect when travel or relocation would otherwise interrupt care.
