About Grace
Grace Chou uses a blend of practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and life transitions. She is an MD and practices as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Maryland. Grace writes short-term goals with clients and focuses on actions people can try between sessions.
Grace offers straightforward tools for low mood, overwhelm, and work-related strain. She listens for values and priorities, then helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck.
Background and approach
Sessions mix talk, skills practice, and short experiments to test what works in daily life. Her background spans 21 years of clinical work supporting people through grief, trauma, parenting concerns, and career changes. She draws on mindfulness and cognitive techniques to reduce worry and increase clear decision making.
Grace pays attention to cultural context and how identity shapes relationships and stress. Clients often get concrete plans for coping with caregiver strain, workplace conflict, and social anxiety. She also addresses money worries, life purpose, and motivation when people feel stuck.
Conversations aim to be practical and easy to use outside the session. Grace offers services in English and Mandarin and accepts international clients. She structures therapy to fit each person's schedule and goals.
Getting started involves a short questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

Online support
Practical approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps that match those values. It focuses on accepting difficult feelings while choosing actions that move life in a meaningful direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and gives clear strategies to reduce anxiety and low mood through practice and behavioral experiments. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase focus, which can help with stress and workplace strain.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Grace will work with each person to try methods, review what helps, and adjust the plan based on goals and preferences. That collaborative process makes it easier to pick techniques that fit day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow a full session with face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins or homework support. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while still using ACT, CBT, and mindfulness tools in a focused way.
