About Graciela

Graciela Dunn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with 20 years of professional experience. She focuses on supporting people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief and loss, motivation and self-esteem concerns, and depression, bringing a steady, compassionate approach to difficult life transitions.

Graciela works to cultivate an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and emotions can be expressed and explored. Her style emphasizes practical coping skills and emotional understanding so that clients can move toward greater confidence and a more fulfilling life. She recognizes that seeking help takes courage and offers steady support throughout the therapeutic process.

Across two decades of practice, Graciela has helped individuals navigate issues such as attachment and abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication and control problems, divorce and separation, and feelings of guilt or shame. Her work aims to balance emotional insight with actionable steps tailored to each person’s needs and goals.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Graciela uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping clients understand and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and build concrete coping skills. Cognitive-style strategies help people identify and reframe negative thoughts that contribute to anxiety and low mood, supporting clearer thinking and improved emotional balance. Skills-based behavioral strategies emphasize step-by-step practices for managing stress, improving communication, and re-engaging with meaningful activities, which can be especially helpful for depression, relationship issues, and life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Graciela works with each person to consider their goals, preferences, and daily realities, adapting methods as therapy unfolds so the plan fits the individual’s needs.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, limited mobility, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access therapy from familiar environments, and integrate skill-building into everyday life while working with a licensed professional.
