Background and approach
Connie uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also incorporates EMDR for those processing traumatic memories, and the Gottman Method to improve communication in close relationships. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help clarifying goals and building momentum.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented while still honoring each person’s life story. Connie helps people break problems into manageable steps and track small wins over time. This makes progress more visible and less overwhelming.
People who come to Connie often want relief from panic, persistent worry, sadness, or relationship strain.

Her Washington practice uses plain language and a steady pace to help people move forward.
Approaches that fit online counseling
Connie commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT typically involves setting clear goals, trying small experiments between sessions, and practicing new skills to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. EMDR is another method she may use to process traumatic memories; it focuses on reducing the emotional intensity of past events so daily life feels less impacted.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Connie works with each person to pick methods that match their goals, comfort level, and the problems they want to address. She explains options and adjusts the plan as progress is made so the work feels useful and manageable.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people work face to face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when a quieter space is available. Live chat or text messaging can be a shorter way to check in between sessions or fit a conversation into a busy day. These options help people keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other obligations.
