Hi! My name is Joyce A. Graham. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I completed my Master's Degree in Community Counseling at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. I currently have a private practice in Missouri where my counseling specialties include issues involving anxiety; depression; grief/loss; stress; and PTSD.
The interpersonal strengths that I bring to the counseling profession are compassion, a genuine concern for the welfare of others, and Christian integrity. I know, personally, what it means to face adversity and I have a passionate desire to see others overcome the struggles, pain, and disappointments of life.
Counseling is my passion! My counseling style is eclectic which means that I believe that the therapeutic process should be tailored to address the individual concerns of the client.
I love walking along side people as they work through life challenges. I am here to provide a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment. I want to assure you that anything you share with me will be held in the strictest of confidence and your privacy is protected.
On a personal note, I have been married for 42 years and am the mother of 3 grown children; 2 daughters and 1 son. If you want to know more about me, please feel free to ask.
I commend you for reaching out for counseling. Having someone to talk to makes it easier to process our feelings. I believe that you and I working together can begin addressing your concerns and work towards processing any challenges or obstacles to your success.
I look forward to communicating with you soon!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I have really enjoyed my time spent with Joyce. She is very kind. Her guidance has been very helpful.
We are just getting started, but I am confident that we will work well together and she will definitely be an aide to me.
Joyce has been given a gift of empathy beyond any other counselor I have come across. Joyce listens, truly listens in a way that she is able transport and place herself in the other person's shoes (the person seeking counselling). You will feel like she truly "gets you" and fully grasps the complexity of any problem. I have never felt more comforted and secure knowing she truly understood what I was dealing with. Which is how she was able to help guide me through a very difficult transition period in my life. Thank you Joyce! God Bless
I am a grown man, a preacher in fact, and have appreciated and trusted Joyce's counsel on personal matters, ranging from dealing with family, anxiety, stress, anger, depression, and boundaries. She has been very helpful. Highly recommended.
She is truly the best!! She gives "love" when needed but also "hard truth" when needed! So easy to talk with, I feel like I've known her forever
Joyce did a wonderful job listening to me, understanding my issues, and giving me appropriate advice and encouragement. I would recommend her to anyone.
Mrs Graham has helped me tremendously. She encourages me to keep going and remember my goals. I an glad I am able to talk to her throughout this rough period of my life.
Joyce creates workable, motivating goals. She is encouraging while offering practical suggestions. I appreciate her expertise.
Joyce, is very understanding and listen to all my concerns and offers suggestion to help me improve or feel better about my issues.
Joyce has done so much for me in just a few weeks. I can't wait to continue working with her. She is kind, patient, understanding and a complete professional. I was so nervous about doing this but she has made it such a rewarding process.
