Jayci Grisafe, LCSW

Jayci Grisafe is a California-licensed LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 15 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship strains, and family conflict. She works with individuals who want to build motivation, strengthen self-esteem, and increase confidence while navigating life transitions and everyday pressures.

Jayci emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach that encourages honest expression of thoughts and feelings. She creates a space where concerns about abandonment, attachment patterns, caregiver stress, communication difficulties, and workplace challenges can be explored and understood. Her practice also addresses issues such as guilt and shame, isolation, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose.

Recognizing that beginning therapy takes courage, Jayci focuses on empowering clients to identify practical coping strategies and to take gradual steps toward a more fulfilling life. She partners with each person to set realistic goals and to develop tools for managing stress, improving relationships, and fostering self-compassion.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Jayci uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help people manage distress and improve relationships. One approach focuses on building skills for managing stress and anxiety - teaching breathing and grounding techniques, emotion regulation strategies, and step-by-step methods to respond differently to worry and overwhelm. This work is helpful for daily stress, social anxiety, and workplace pressures.

She also uses attachment-informed and relational work to explore patterns tied to abandonment, trust, and communication. This approach helps people understand how early and current relationships influence expectations and reactions, and it supports healthier interaction styles with partners and family members.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jayci collaborates with each person to identify which techniques align with their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility to fit sessions into busy lives through video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to connect consistently, access support from home or work, and maintain momentum between sessions with a licensed therapist.
