About Pam
Pam Grzech is an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker with 30 years of experience based in Michigan. She works with adults on issues such as trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, anger, depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, sleep problems, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Her practice begins with a client-centered approach. That means she asks what matters to the person in front of her and follows their lead. If someone is unsure of goals, she helps them clarify next steps rather than offering ready-made answers.
Pam uses a mix of methods depending on the situation. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. She also uses trauma-focused work and EMDR where trauma and painful memories are central to the problem. Psychodynamic ideas can help uncover repeated patterns that keep showing up.
Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking. She listens, reflects what she hears, and supports people as they try different ways of responding. For parents she brings a long background in child mental health and consultation with caregivers.
Pam also has nursing experience, including hospice work, which shaped how she listens and supports people in hard moments. Her MSW is from Wayne State University. She practices from Michigan and offers services in English.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Pam blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies and trauma-focused methods to help people manage strong emotions like anger. Client-centered work means she listens first and helps the person name goals. Cognitive behavioral work looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep anger or anxiety going and tests new ways of responding.When trauma is part of the picture she may use trauma-focused techniques or EMDR to address distressing memories. These approaches aim to reduce the intensity of upsetting memories and the reactions that follow, which can affect mood, sleep, and relationships.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Pam will review symptoms, history, and what the person wants to change, then suggest options and try methods together. The client’s needs and preferences help decide whether to emphasize CBT, trauma-focused work, EMDR, or psychodynamic exploration.
