    About Tim

    Tim Gravier is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri with 19 years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and major life changes. He also offers coaching around career concerns and smoking or vaping cessation. Tim writes in a straightforward way and invites people to start by describing what feels most urgent to them.

    He uses Motivational Interviewing to guide change by exploring a person's own reasons for wanting different outcomes. Tim also draws on Client-Centered approaches to make sessions collaborative and respectful of each person's perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness techniques are part of his toolbox when people want practical skills for managing thoughts and feelings.

    Tim earned a Master of Education in Counseling after completing a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. He was a counselor with the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and later served as Statewide Director of Quality Assurance, supervising master-level counselors. After retiring from state service he moved into private practice and provides telehealth appointments.

    In sessions he focuses on clear goals and steps people can try between meetings. He describes counseling as a team effort where the client’s experience steers the work. Tim schedules morning, afternoon, and evening virtual appointments to help sessions fit into busy lives.

    Sessions are conducted in English and his practice is based in Missouri. People interested in starting can use the site’s Start Therapy button to complete a brief matching questionnaire and set up their first appointment.

  2. How his approaches guide online therapy

    Tim commonly uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. That approach focuses on listening, asking reflective questions, and supporting a person's own motivation to try something different.

    He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions emphasize respect for the client's perspective and work together to set goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used for people who want hands-on strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, such as managing anxiety or panic symptoms.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tim will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.

    The practice offers virtual appointments and schedules morning, afternoon, and evening times to help sessions fit into daily life. Please confirm the current online session options when you schedule so you know which formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit a check-in between appointments, have shorter follow-ups, or avoid travel time while still focusing on concrete steps and coping skills.
