About Constance
Constance Akonumbo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with seven years of experience. She came to counseling after careers in teaching and nursing, and she says this mix of backgrounds helps her understand practical life pressures. Constance approaches therapy with warmth and a collaborative spirit.
She values honesty, respect, and steady teamwork when people are ready to make changes. Constance uses straightforward, skills-based methods. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
She also uses client-centered listening so people feel heard while they set their own goals. Mindfulness and narrative elements are woven into sessions to help with self-awareness and meaning-making. Many people seek her help for stress and anxiety, as well as sleeping problems, grief, low self-esteem, and challenges tied to parenting, relationships, or addictive patterns.
She also works with mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms and addresses concerns like impulsivity, isolation, and family-of-origin issues. Constance combines practical coaching with therapeutic work to move toward clearer daily routines and better coping skills. Her style is interactive and direct.
Sessions focus on small, achievable changes and building on strengths that already exist. She invites clients to try new skills between sessions and to reflect on what helps in real life. Constance meets with people in Oklahoma and accepts international clients.
Sessions are offered in English and include options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Clinical approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them, then identify values and take small committed steps toward those values; it can help with anxiety, stress, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing new actions to change mood and routines; it often helps with anxiety, sleep problems, and low self-esteem. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and support so clients can find their own solutions and build on personal strengths.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Constance treats therapy as a collaboration and will help clients try different methods to see what fits best. Goals, day-to-day realities, and personal preferences guide which tools are used and how sessions are structured.
Online sessions make it easier to keep therapy consistent. Video calls let therapists observe facial cues and guide skill practice, while phone sessions remove the need for a camera and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging offer quick check-ins, written reflections, and ongoing support between meetings. These options provide flexibility for varying schedules and communication styles, helping clients use therapy in ways that actually match their lives.
