TIM GRAVIER M.Ed. LPC

Stress? Anxiety? Feeling stuck? Let’s talk! Things impact your mental health each day, making you feel stuck. I utilize Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to assist in coping with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and the stressors of your daily life. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri since 2004 with a Bachelor’s in Psychology and Masters of Education in Counseling. I am certified as an Executive Coach and a Six Sigma Green Belt in Process Improvement.

Starting in 2000 as a Counselor with the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education in the Office of Adult Learning and Rehabilitation Services, I have worked with a multitude of clients. Promoted to Statewide Director of Quality Assurance in 2013, I have helped guide over 130 Master level Counselors provide quality services to nearly 14,000 clients a year. Retired from the State of Missouri, I currently hold a private practice; contracting through telehealth to provide an innovative experience for you to reach your goal.

I believe that therapy/counseling is a professional relationship where both of us work together to best fit your needs. What you will get from me is a safe non-judgmental place to be yourself. I believe that every individual is an expert in their own life and can attain the best version of themselves through this experience. To accommodate your needs, I offer morning, afternoon, and evening virtual appointments so you stay in the comfort of your space and your schedule. Together, we can work to get life on track - enough about me - tell me about you - Let’s talk.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

He is a very good guy that really seems to enjoy helping people

Reviewed August 2023

Tim Gravier takes the time to listen to me, he truly cares about what his clients’ goals are, and helps his clients meet those goals, in whichever way they feel supported, not judged harshly, and in a way that makes them—at least me, anyways—feel empowered to be able to complete the goals you want and need to achieve. He meets you where you are, and genuinely cares for people. You can just tell. Very validating, very understanding, and very considerate.

Reviewed June 2023

Tim routinely sends follow-ups / action items for me to work on. I've found them to be extremely helpful during those periods in-between sessions. They keep me focused & on track.

Gives sound advice and helps clients with life troubles. Recommend to all! A+!

Reviewed March 2023

Tim makes therapy friendly. His laid back air can be disarming at first. He's not like a stereotypical therapist, constantly asking "How does that make you feel?" He'll just ask you about your day, and lets conversation flow naturally. However, he eventually drills down on whatever is bothering you, and tries to come up with solutions for it. Because he doesn't force anything on you, you do have to take the initiative for lasting change though. I would recommend Tim for anyone not sure about therapy. His conversational style makes it easy to start talking, and when he hits the bullseye, he nails it.

Reviewed March 2023
