Tim Gravier, LPC

Tim Gravier is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 19 years of experience. He helps people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or feeling stuck. Tim also supports people facing life changes, career questions, or low self-esteem.

He uses plain talk and practical steps in sessions. Tim draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to shape the work. Sessions focus on clear goals, helpful skills, and small experiments to test what works.

Tim spent many years working in state services and quality assurance. In that role he guided master-level counselors and helped shape programs for thousands of clients a year. He later moved into private practice and telehealth to offer flexible appointment times.

In sessions he aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space. He treats the person in front of him as the expert on their life and partners with them to set realistic goals. Practical coping tools and problem-solving are common parts of the work.

Tim offers morning, afternoon, and evening virtual appointments to fit different schedules. He provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits them best.

How Tim Uses CBT and Client-Centered Methods Online

Tim commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy when working online. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it can be useful for anxiety, panic, and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely, reflecting what matters to the client, and building a trusting working relationship to explore goals and choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tim will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps. He treats the choice of approach as collaborative and responsive to each person's needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and use of visual tools. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when being off-camera feels better. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or following up between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules and to keep consistent progress over time.
