A Note from Ron
“I’m here for the person who is struggling to find solutions in a time of need. Whether dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, or simply trying to find answers that actually work for you.”
— Ron Brand, LPC
About Redbird Counseling
After many years in ministry, my own health crisis sent me back to college and eventually into the field of counseling. Redbird Counseling LLC grew out of that journey. I feel compelled to help others who are struggling to find their footing when life throws a curveball. My approach is solution‑focused – we will work together one‑on‑one to find practical steps forward rather than getting stuck in the past. I listen first and tell you upfront if your needs are outside my wheelhouse so you never waste your time.
What I Offer
Individual Therapy Sessions
You and I meet one‑on‑one, either in person or virtually, to focus on what’s weighing on you. Anxiety? Depression? Grief? We’ll work together to find practical steps forward.
Virtual Sessions (Missouri‑only)
Can’t make it to the office? I offer secure video sessions for Missouri residents. You’ll get the same caring, solution‑focused support without leaving home. (State law requires that clients be located in Missouri.)
Solution‑Focused Counseling
If you feel stuck, solution‑focused counseling helps you identify your strengths and move toward goals that make sense for you. We don’t dwell on the problem; instead, we roll up our sleeves and find actionable steps that fit your life.
Session Rates and Insurance
The average private‑pay, in‑person session runs $150. I use the Square app for payment. Through Headway.co I accept a limited set of insurances (please check there to see if yours is listed). I’m not accepting Medicaid, but if I can’t serve you I’ll gladly refer you to trusted colleagues here in Springfield.
My Approach
Confidentiality
Confidentiality is at the core of my therapy practice. Your story stays between us. I only do one‑on‑one sessions, so you always have my full attention and complete privacy.
Empathy and Listening
Empathy is the foundation of my therapeutic approach. I’m a good listener (at least that’s what my clients tell me). You’ll find empathy and respect here, not judgment or some cookie‑cutter approach.
Personalized Care
I tailor each session to your needs and focus on practical solutions you can start using right away. My goal is to equip you with tools and strategies that actually help you feel better.
