She has nine years of experience in outpatient mental health and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

Her style is supportive and direct. Connie listens with empathy, and she also challenges unhelpful patterns that keep people stuck.
Background and approach
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-focused methods to address symptoms and build coping skills. Connie also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is part of her toolkit for processing traumatic memories when appropriate.
She blends these approaches to match each person’s needs rather than using the same plan for everyone. Clients commonly bring concerns like parenting stress, relationship problems, grief, self-esteem struggles, anger, attention issues, and the effects of abuse or abandonment. She also supports people dealing with blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and the fallout from separation or divorce.
Connie explains therapy in plain language and focuses on what can change now. She will work with each person to set goals and practice skills between sessions. The aim is to help clients move toward a more manageable, satisfying life.
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Connie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and shift thoughts and behaviors that increase distress. CBT focuses on small, concrete steps and practical skills that clients can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety, depression, or problematic habits.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which helps people clarify what matters to them and take action in line with those values. ACT is useful when someone wants a clearer direction for life despite ongoing difficult emotions. Connie blends these methods with client-centered listening to tailor each plan to the person’s goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Connie discusses options with each person and decides together which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences. That makes therapy a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and make it easier to stay consistent with treatment.
