About Connie

Connie Grand is a licensed professional counselor in Missouri with 25 years of clinical experience helping people navigate relationship challenges, trauma, and emotional struggles.

Background and approach

She focuses on concerns such as family conflict, intimacy difficulties, anxiety, depression, addictions, and grief, and brings additional attention to issues like autism and Asperger Syndrome, HIV/AIDS, OCD, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics. Connie emphasizes building a collaborative, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and work toward meaningful change.

Her practice incorporates evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy. With a goal of empowering clients to strengthen motivation, self-esteem, and coping skills, she supports people through life transitions, anger and stress management, and challenges related to identity and discrimination.

Connie frames therapy as a partnership, offering steady guidance while encouraging clients to take courageous steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Connie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, or problematic habits, offering practical tools for managing symptoms and building new skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also part of her practice, focusing on helping people accept difficult internal experiences while clarifying values and committing to actions that increase meaningful engagement in life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Connie works with each person to explore goals, personal preferences, and the specific nature of their concerns, and together they decide which methods to emphasize in treatment and when to adjust course based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules or when in-person visits are impractical. These formats support ongoing access to a licensed professional while preserving flexibility for different communication styles and needs.
