Grant Barlow, LCPC, LPCC

Grant Barlow is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with six years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, addiction, trauma, grief, and codependency concerns. He also supports people dealing with changes in work or relationships and with issues like panic, bipolar mood swings, ADHD, and sleeping difficulties.

Grant draws on a person-centered stance in sessions. He treats each person as the expert on their life and focuses on practical steps that fit the client’s goals. Conversations often move quickly toward identifying small changes that can reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

He uses solution-focused methods alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas. That means sessions can include setting clear goals, testing small behavior changes, and noticing how thoughts and actions interact. He also uses motivational interviewing techniques to help people clarify what matters and find reasons to keep making changes.

Grant has experience working with people who have limited external supports. He aims to help clients notice strengths they already have and build new ways to cope. He can include spiritual perspectives in counseling when a client wants that considered.

People who tend to put others first, struggle to say no, or feel empty in close relationships may find sessions that focus on boundaries and self-awareness helpful. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.
