Grace Baman, LPC

Grace Baman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oregon with 14 years of experience. She works with adults facing grief, depression, anxiety, stress, relationship and career concerns, and a range of mood and attention issues. She also lists family of origin issues among her focuses and supports people dealing with identity and LGBT concerns.

Grace uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She offers tools and insights from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches, DBT skills, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Sessions emphasize clear goals, coping strategies, and real-life skills rather than vague talk.

Clients can expect a working style that balances attentive listening with concrete steps. Grace describes therapy as real work and asks people to come ready to engage. She says what people put into the process affects what they get out of it.

Grace takes an explicit stance against discriminatory language toward people of color, LGBTQI+ people, and others. She makes that boundary clear at the start of the professional relationship.

Her background includes over a decade in mental health practice across multiple concerns such as trauma and abuse, caregiver stress, commitment and control issues, divorce and separation, and problems with sleep. She draws on several evidence-informed techniques to address symptoms and build day-to-day coping.

In sessions she works with people to identify goals, track progress, and practice skills between meetings. She encourages people to bring real situations from life to work on in session so changes can carry into daily routines.
