Grace Hockenberry

Hi, I'm Grace! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) providing virtual therapy throughout the state of Florida. I am deeply committed to guiding individuals toward greater well‑being. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, identity exploration, sexual trauma, or self-harm/suicidal thoughts, my goal is to support you in achieving your goals. As a therapist, I am straight forward, compassionate, understanding, and yes - I will challenge you. I believe you are here for a reason: to feel better and to be at your best. My job is to help you get there. So if you are ready for work, truth with compassion, and you want someone who will challenge you and hold you accountable to your goals - then I think you've found the therapist for you. A little about me: My path to counseling was shaped by a lifelong curiosity about human nature. I spent the first part of my professional career in customer service, recruitment, and HR. After earning my BA in Psychology from Florida State University, I went on to complete my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I draw from a wide range of therapeutic tools, including CBT, DBT, solution‑focused work, sex therapy, and more. My goal is to help you achieve your goals and to ensure that you are safe and supported on your healing journey. I work with you to create a personalized path toward healing. I am very passionate about supporting all individuals from diverse backgrounds - making sincere connections, listening to your experience without judgment, and creating a space where you can feel safe to be who you are. Outside of session, you’ll likely find me cooking with my spouse, reading by the pool, enjoying true‑crime podcasts, hanging out with my two dogs Doak and Bowden… or trying to beat the Florida heat at a theme park! If you’re ready to move from surviving to thriving, contact me and let’s take that first step together.
