About Gretchen
Gretchen Graham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arkansas with six years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. She focuses on creating a calm space where people feel heard and can talk openly about what’s hard. Gretchen encourages practical next steps so clients can begin to feel steadier between sessions.
She draws on several approaches to meet different needs, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Background and approach
That means working on thoughts and behaviors while also clarifying values and what matters most. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, not lecture-style. Gretchen often helps people facing life transitions, postpartum mood shifts, and the ongoing strain of parenting and blended family dynamics.
She also supports those coping with past trauma, attachment concerns, and issues around guilt or shame. Her work includes attention to adoption and foster care experiences and to women’s issues. Expect a warm, straightforward style.
Gretchen listens first, then offers clear options and exercises you can try between visits. She aims for work that fits your daily life and your parenting demands. Sessions are available in English and offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability.

Online approaches that fit parenting life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for managing anxiety, parenting stress, and finding steady ways to respond during hard moments. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical exercises to change patterns that increase anxiety or depression.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they’ll try methods that match day-to-day life and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow conversation much like an in-person visit. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or suit lower bandwidth situations. Live chat and text messaging can be used for brief check-ins, homework guidance, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy around parenting responsibilities, work, and other routines.
