About Pam
Pam Grzech is an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker with 30 years of experience. She works with adults on issues like anger, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anxiety, stress, addictions, parenting concerns, sleep problems, and low self-esteem. Pam describes her practice as focused on listening first and helping people decide what they want to change.
Her main approach is client-centered, which means sessions begin with the client's priorities rather than a preset plan. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused methods when they fit the goals. Pam avoids quick fixes or advice that feels rehearsed; instead she helps clients identify patterns that keep problems going and tries practical ways to shift them.
Pam’s background includes a Master of Social Work from Wayne State University and many years working in child mental health and consulting with parents. She also has nursing experience, including hospice work, which she says taught her to listen closely during hard moments. That mix of social work and nursing informs how she talks about grief, loss, and compassion fatigue.
In sessions she asks what you want to work on and offers concrete steps to try between meetings. If you’re not sure about goals, she will help you name them. Her work tends to be straightforward and matter-of-fact, aimed at reducing boiling points, easing sleep trouble, and managing overwhelm.
Pam practices in Michigan and conducts work in English. Her approach is collaborative: she and the client decide which methods to use and when to bring in trauma-focused tools like EMDR.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's concerns and goals. Online sessions using this approach start with what matters most to the person and build from there. It suits issues like anger management, stress, and parenting questions where clear goals help shape short-term work.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT often uses brief exercises and between-session tasks to change unhelpful patterns. This can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing irritability.
EMDR and trauma-focused methods are used when trauma is a main concern. These approaches aim to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and their impact on daily life. When appropriate, Pam brings trauma-focused tools into sessions alongside client-centered work.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. She works with each person to decide which approach fits their goals and preferences. That decision happens together, and can shift as progress is made.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, allow shorter focused check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with her during the intake to figure out how sessions can fit into your day.
