How Connie’s Approaches Work Online
Connie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people cope with anxiety, stress, and traumatic events. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce distress. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process painful experiences and build skills to manage intense reactions and memories.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, past efforts, and what feels most helpful, then suggest a path forward. Decisions about which methods to use are made collaboratively and can change as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and moments. Video calls let people see facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, sharing updates, or getting support between longer sessions. These options aim to make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and daily life.
