Grace Szeja, LCSW - Therapist in Florida

About Grace

Grace Szeja, LCSW, helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She offers a calm, compassionate presence for those dealing with grief, trauma, mood challenges, and questions about identity. Grace uses straightforward language and creative tools to make therapy feel practical and relatable.

She works in an open, client-centered way that focuses on each person’s goals. Sessions often combine talk-based work with creative exercises like drawing, journaling, sand tray activities, and clay.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy methods are used to teach coping skills and shift unhelpful thinking. Grace draws on about ten years of clinical experience, including work in a hospital setting with a wide range of concerns and ages. That background informs a steady, practical approach to problem solving and emotional regulation.

She often supports people exploring attachment wounds, abandonment, and family-of-origin issues. Her style is direct and gentle. She encourages people to try small changes and build new habits.

Practical tools and creative practices are mixed with conversation so clients leave sessions with things to try between meetings. Outside of clinical work she has a fine arts background and brings that creative eye to sessions.

Grace lives in Florida and uses her personal experience with life shifts to help others find direction, reduce shame and guilt, and reconnect to what matters to them.

Online support

Using Attachment, Client-Centered, and CBT Online

Grace often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns and feelings. That approach helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and to practice different ways of relating. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on each person's needs, offering empathy and reflective listening so clients lead the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and to teach concrete coping tools for anxiety, mood, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Grace will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and personality. She helps clients try techniques, reflect on what helps, and adjust plans as needed so progress feels realistic and tailored.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. Video lets people meet face to face for deeper conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text messaging offer quick check-ins and brief support between sessions. These choices make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life rhythms.
