Grace Dunn, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Grace!

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker/Therapist in Southern California, offering telehealth services statewide. I work with adults, youth, and couples specializing in anxiety, depression, stress, and relational issues. I draw from CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused, Trauma-Focused, and ACT approaches to help my clients heal and grow.

My focus

With over 20 years of experience in private practice and community health, I help clients navigate challenges and achieve personal growth. I'm dedicated to fostering resilience and empowering you to create meaningful change. I enjoy working with adults, youth, and couples.

My approach

I take a collaborative, client-centered approach, creating a safe and supportive space to explore your thoughts and feelings. I draw from CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused, Trauma-Focused, and ACT therapies, tailoring each session to meet your unique needs and support your growth and healing.

My communication style

In our sessions, you can expect a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where you can openly explore your experiences. My communication style is professional, compassionate, and attuned to your individual needs, fostering trust and collaboration throughout the therapeutic process.

My journey to mental healthcare

Raised by a dedicated single mother alongside my two sisters, I was inspired to become a therapist to make a positive difference in people's lives. I strive to use empathy and compassion to support others in overcoming challenges and becoming the best version of themselves.

My goals for you

Together, we will identify your goals and develop personalized strategies to help you navigate challenges, build resilience, and foster healing and growth. I aim to support you in gaining insight, strengthening coping skills, and creating meaningful, lasting change in your life.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll discuss how you've been feeling, the challenges you're facing, and how they impact your daily life. This helps me gain a clear understanding of your situation so I can provide the support and guidance you need moving forward.
