About Tim
Tim Gravier is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 19 years of experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, life changes, and career questions. Tim also addresses concerns such as panic attacks, caregiver stress, and issues related to aging, cancer, and end-of-life care.
Tim uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness approaches. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than abstract theory. He describes counseling as a collaborative effort where the client’s perspective shapes the work.
His background includes a Bachelor’s degree in psychology and a Master of Education in Counseling. Tim has been a Missouri LPC since 2004 and previously led quality assurance efforts for a statewide adult learning and rehabilitation services program. That role involved supervising Master level counselors and guiding service quality across many clients.
Since retiring from state work, he has maintained a private practice and contracts through telehealth to offer virtual sessions. Tim offers morning, afternoon, and evening virtual appointments to help fit counseling into busy schedules. He also integrates coaching methods and process improvement ideas when helpful.
In sessions he tends to be direct and practical. People can expect conversations that identify what is getting in the way, try short-term strategies, and set small goals. If you are unsure what comes next after a job, relationship, or health change, he helps clarify next steps and practical coping techniques.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. In practice this means the counselor reflects concerns back and asks questions so priorities become clearer. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches simple strategies to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy uses attention and awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and improve coping with stress and grief.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods based on what helps most. That collaborative process makes it clearer which tools to use and when to shift focus.
The biography notes he contracts through telehealth for virtual appointments. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into mornings, afternoons, or evenings and reduce travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when a brief coaching touchpoint is useful and make it simpler to use guided exercises, worksheets, and mindfulness practices during the session.
