Kristy Groves, LCSW

Kristy Groves is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Missouri with five years of practice as a therapist. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and bipolar concerns, addictions, low self-esteem, and anger. Kristy also helps with relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy-related concerns, sleep and eating struggles, and career or life transitions.

She begins by treating the person as the expert in their own life. Kristy uses straightforward conversation to identify what’s getting in the way. She focuses on building practical skills you can use between sessions. The aim is clearer thinking and more manageable reactions when things get heated.

Her approach draws on evidence-informed methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and client-centered work. Sessions include skill practice, values clarification, and noticing patterns that keep problems stuck. Kristy encourages small, sustainable changes rather than big overhauls.

Clients can expect direct feedback and tools for handling strong emotions and urges. She pays attention to how stress, past trauma, and day-to-day habits feed into anger and other concerns. Kristy also supports people dealing with identity questions such as gender dysphoria and LGBTQ issues.

She works in English and practices in Missouri. Her way of working aims to reduce reactivity, improve communication, and help people make choices that reflect their goals. To get started, readers should confirm current session options before booking.
