About Connie
Connie Grand is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in Missouri with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with family conflict, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, and struggles with motivation and self-esteem. She speaks English and works with adults seeking clearer thinking and steadier coping.
Connie favors practical, structured methods that make thoughts and behaviors easier to notice and change. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered techniques to help people break patterns that cause distress. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing new behaviors, and choosing actions that match personal values.
In meetings she keeps conversation direct and focused. People practice short exercises, try out different responses between sessions, and review what worked. Work often includes simple skill building for stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and relationship strain.
Her background includes long experience with mood conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder, substance and behavioral addictions, and concerns linked to autism, intellectual disability, and OCD. Connie also addresses issues related to HIV/AIDS, sexual assault, prejudice, and non-monogamous relationships when these affect daily functioning.
Connie supports parents coping with parenting strain and helps people navigate infertility, infidelity, and identity-related stress in LGBT clients. She encourages concrete steps and regular check-ins so progress is clear and practical.
How Connie uses structured therapies in online work
Connie commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into her sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and practicing small behavior experiments to test alternatives. ACT emphasizes clarifying personal values and learning to take committed actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Connie will discuss goals and try methods that fit a client's needs and preferences. She frames choices as collaborative experiments rather than fixed prescriptions, and adjusts methods based on what the person finds useful.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and reducing travel time so sessions can occur during a lunch break or after work. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the current options before booking. Once confirmed, clients can plan sessions to match their schedules and practice skills between meetings to reinforce progress.
