About me

I have worked extensively with a diverse patient population, such as adolescents in high-school settings, geriatrics, those with developmental differences, and those with dual diagnoses, among others. Although predominantly trained in cognitive-behavioral therapy, I also work from a humanistic model, maintaining a humble and tentative stance, since I believe empathy, compassion, and attunement are at the bedrock of the relational dynamic. I am committed to working with you to improve your overall mental and emotional health and well-being, through a collaborative effort.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Grace Lu. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

I started working with Grace during a period where I needed more clarity around my situation, and within a few weeks I’ve become much more self-aware and intentional in how I move forward.

She has great listening skills, but what really stands out is how she translates that into practical insight, pointing out patterns to watch for and helping me think a few steps ahead.

I also appreciate that she shares relevant examples and perspectives from working with other clients, which makes the guidance feel grounded and applicable in real life.

Overall, I leave sessions feeling clearer, more aware, and better equipped to handle what’s in front of me.
