About Tim
Tim Gravier, LPC, has practiced as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri for 19 years. He focuses on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, career questions, and coping with life changes. Tim also offers coaching around career and smoking or vaping cessation.
Tim describes therapy as a collaborative working relationship. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness techniques, and solution-focused work to address everyday problems. Sessions emphasize practical changes in thinking and behavior rather than long lectures about theory.
In sessions he helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. He then guides short experiments and small behavior changes to test different responses. He also uses coaching-style tools to set clear goals and track progress over time.
Before private practice, Tim worked with the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education starting in 2000. He later became Statewide Director of Quality Assurance, supervising Master-level counselors and helping improve services across programs.
Tim holds a Master of Education in Counseling and a bachelor’s degree in psychology. He is an LPC in Missouri and has experience supporting people facing aging and geriatric concerns, cancer and hospice related issues, caregiver stress, fatherhood concerns, communication problems, divorce and separation, and life-purpose questions.
Sessions are offered in English and are delivered through virtual appointments. If someone wants to start, they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to discuss goals and a plan.
How Tim uses structured approaches in virtual sessions
Tim commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes. CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and is often used for anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms.He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and using the client's own goals to guide sessions. Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce reactivity and improve daily coping.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Tim will collaborate with each client to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That collaborative decision happens in early sessions and can change as progress is made.
