Hi! I'm Grace, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland. With over two decades of experience in mental health and career counselling, I am passionate about helping my clients gain insights and develop new skills to thrive in life.
My therapeutic philosophy is rooted in a collaborative and strengths-based approach. I am committed to helping you understand your struggles, discover your strengths to overcome life's challenges, and teach you new skills to manage your emotions effectively. My counselling approach incorporates various theories, primarily including Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, Forgiveness Exercises, and Value Exploration.
Outside of my professional life, I cherish my family and value the rich experiences that come from living in different cultures. These experiences have shaped my understanding and empathy, which I bring into my counselling practice.
I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and support you on your journey to mental well-being.
Warmest regards,
Grace Chou

About online counselling

- Counselling in as little as 48 hours. No waiting list and no calls to make.
Online counselling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counselling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Understand the different between the western and Asian culture. Beneficial for someone who has issues with both cultural differences
Grace is absolutely amazing, compassionate and extremely helpful
Grace is a wonderful listener and has great advice. I signed up with her for professional reasons and feel that I have made advancements in that area of my life as a result.
I don’t have enough words to emphasize how much Grace helped me. She supported me endlessly through the highs and lows, always checking in on me. She listens so attentively and will even repeat things back to you just to make sure she is hearing your correctly. She is constantly providing both advice, validation, and challenges to help me grow as an individual. She has helped me find the best version of myself. I cannot recommend her enough! I appreciate you, Grace!

Grace is extremely helpful and empathetic. I am so glad to have her
Grace is a true professional. I love that she gave practical advise and I never felt judged. She always checked in when I was away for too long, but was respectful of my time and space. She provided guidance and tools that I know will be useful beyond our sessions. Thank you!
