About Grace
Grace Wolbrink is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with 35 years of practice. She brings long experience supporting people through anxiety, grief, stress, and life transitions. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping people move from survival mode toward clearer goals and steadier days.
Grace has worked in many settings across Michigan and beyond, including hospitals and military sites. She has helped people facing burnout, loss, post-traumatic stress, caregiver strain, and the slow ache of unmet expectations.
Background and approach
She also supports concerns such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, career questions, and struggles with self-esteem. Her approach mixes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and solution-focused ideas. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thinking, telling a clearer story about your life, and choosing small, doable changes that add up.
She also draws on Jungian concepts to explore meaning and purpose when that feels useful. Grace uses plain language and concrete steps in sessions. She helps people sort priorities, set manageable goals, and practice skills between meetings.
The work is collaborative and paced to each person's needs. She offers online options, including video and phone, along with live chat and text-based messaging. International clients who speak English can work with her through those formats.
To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions through the site's matching process.
Approaches for online work and practical change
Grace commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves, so painful events or labels stop defining the whole life. She also brings in solution-focused ideas that emphasize small, achievable steps to create momentum and quick wins.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, history, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as needed based on results and preferences.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video allows face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deeper conversation. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging let people share thoughts between sessions and keep momentum with brief exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain continuity across life changes.
