Background and approach
Her work addresses common struggles such as anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, grief, and issues with addiction. She also supports people dealing with bipolar symptoms, anger, and relationship difficulties. Additional focus areas include autism and Asperger Syndrome, intellectual disability, OCD and obsessive concerns, HIV/AIDS, and the effects of sexual assault and abuse.
Connie uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors.
Client-Centered and existential ideas guide a supportive, respectful conversation about purpose and choice. Based in Missouri, Connie helps adults who want a steady, understanding presence while they work toward change. She aims to be a practical partner in the steps people take toward better daily functioning and clearer relationships.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters and take steps aligned with their values, even when hard feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and trying different behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the person guides the pace and focus of sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try methods that fit the individual and adjust as needed based on progress and feedback.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video works well for conversations that benefit from face-to-face contact, while phone sessions use less bandwidth. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, between-session support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules and keep continuity when traveling or rescheduling is necessary.
