Connie Grand, LPC

Connie Grand is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 25 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or issues with self-esteem. She also supports people navigating relationship struggles, intimacy concerns, grief, addiction, and trauma. Her approach is calm and straightforward, with an emphasis on listening first and helping people find workable steps forward.

Connie creates an open space where clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings without judgment. She focuses on practical ways to notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. Sessions are conversational and grounded in everyday language so problems feel easier to tackle.

Her work draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change thinking and behavior, and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build committed action. Client-Centered Therapy shapes the way she listens, while existential ideas help people face big life questions and meaning. Together these approaches guide clear goals and usable tools.

Connie has a long history of helping people with parenting concerns, family conflict, and issues related to identity and discrimination. She also focuses on areas such as obsessive behaviors, bipolar and mood concerns, sexual assault recovery, and challenges connected to autism and intellectual disability.

Connie offers sessions in English and works with people in Missouri. She uses a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life.

How Connie Uses Talk-Based and Action-Focused Approaches Online

Connie combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people change painful patterns and build a meaningful life. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and obsessive concerns. ACT emphasizes noticing difficult feelings, clarifying personal values, and taking committed steps that match those values.

She approaches online work collaboratively. Early sessions often focus on what matters most to the person and what practical changes would feel useful. Together they pick strategies to try, then review what worked and adjust the plan as needed so the approach fits individual goals and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
