Connie combines practical talk therapy with attention to everyday life factors. She draws on methods that help people change unhelpful thinking, build coping skills, and improve emotional regulation.
Background and approach
She also pays attention to patterns formed in close relationships and how those affect current difficulties. Her background includes long experience with trauma, substance use, grief, chronic health concerns, and life-stage stressors. Connie has practiced across multiple states and has worked with many people recovering from abusive relationships and other forms of relational harm.
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-based ideas, and a client-centered stance when shaping sessions. Conversations focus on practical steps people can try between sessions and on building skills that fit daily life. Connie also incorporates a holistic view that considers mind, body, spirit, and life context when planning care.
She respects individual beliefs and adapts the therapeutic approach to each person's goals and values. Her aim is to help people develop tools so they can move forward with more confidence and stability.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unwanted thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions because it focuses on meaningful goals rather than fighting every uncomfortable feeling. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches specific ways to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It often includes simple exercises to practice between sessions and can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills help when intense emotions or relationship conflicts get in the way of daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Connie will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on goals, needs, and what feels doable. Sessions are tailored and adjusted over time so strategies fit the persons life and priorities.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises that use visual aids. Phone sessions can be easier when video would be difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter exchanges when schedules are tight. These options make it possible to keep therapy consistent even with busy or changing routines.
