About Graciela
Graciela Medrano-Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15 years of experience in Texas. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. Her approach is practical and respectful, focused on each person's needs.
Graciela centers conversations on what matters to the client. She listens first, then works together with the person to shape a plan that fits their life. Sessions aim to be straightforward so people can try tools between meetings and notice what works.
Background and approach
She uses techniques from client-centered work to keep conversations grounded in the client's values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas help identify thought and behavior patterns that increase distress. Trauma-focused and mindfulness practices offer ways to reduce overwhelm and reconnect with the present.
Graciela also addresses concerns like abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, grief, guilt, shame, impulsivity, loneliness, life purpose, midlife shifts, multicultural issues, panic, and post-traumatic stress. She adapts the pace to meet each person's comfort level. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in Texas and internationally.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process and supports clients in taking small steps toward clearer thinking and better coping. Taking that first step is acknowledged as an act of courage, and Graciela offers steady, respectful support along the way.

Approaches to Anger and Trauma in Online Therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's experience and values, giving people space to talk and helping them set goals that matter. It helps when someone needs someone who listens without judgment and tailors the conversation to their priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It offers practical exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, which can reduce intense reactions like anger or panic.
Trauma-focused therapy addresses the impact of traumatic events and provides methods to reduce reactivity and intrusive memories. It teaches skills to manage strong emotions and to rebuild safety and routine in daily life.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work with lower bandwidth, chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping care consistent.
