Connie Grand, LPC

Connie Grand is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who want to handle anger, stress, or conflict more effectively. She also helps people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, parenting strain, and trauma-related concerns.

Connie focuses on clear, direct conversation. She encourages people to name what is happening, look at how behaviors and thoughts connect, and try small changes that feel doable. Sessions are conversational and practical rather than academic. The aim is to reduce reactivity and help clients act in ways that match their goals.

Her background includes long-term work with trauma and abuse, addictions, and intimacy-related problems. She also works with people facing issues related to sexuality, HIV/AIDS, neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome, and identity-based discrimination. That experience informs how she listens and plans next steps with each person.

Connie draws on a mix of methods to fit the problem at hand. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to clarify values and get unstuck, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and Client-Centered methods to keep the conversation grounded on the client’s priorities. Existential ideas shape conversations about meaning and choice.

People who prefer straightforward feedback and concrete strategies often find this approach useful. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.
