Grace Vega, LICSW

Grace Vega is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts with three years of clinical experience. She has worked with a wide age range of clients, beginning with children as young as five and extending to older adults, addressing concerns such as depression, anxiety, family conflict, behavioral challenges, and autism spectrum conditions. Her practice also includes support for parenting and blended family issues, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, grief, trauma and abuse, attention differences such as ADHD, relationship and intimacy challenges, and questions around life purpose and self-esteem.

Grace brings a warm and empathetic counseling style and emphasizes attentive listening as the foundation of the therapeutic relationship. She partners with clients to create individualized treatment plans that build on existing strengths. In her work she blends solution-focused strategies with cognitive behavioral techniques and draws on client-centered and mindfulness approaches to address both immediate concerns and longer term patterns.

Grace is committed to supporting clients through life transitions and difficult moments, offering encouragement and practical tools to help them move toward their goals. She aims to empower families, caregivers, children, and individuals to make meaningful changes at a pace that fits their needs.

Approaches Used in Online Therapy and What to Expect

Grace Vega commonly incorporates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy into her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, listening relationship where the client’s perspective guides the pace and goals of work - it is useful for issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and reshape unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it a practical option for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and coping practices that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Grace works with each client to explore which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds so the work remains relevant and manageable.

Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for busy schedules and those who prefer remote access. These options make it easier to maintain consistent therapy, access support from home, and fit care into everyday life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor their approach to each person.
