Background and approach
Connie has guided people through major life shifts such as career changes, divorce and caregiving transitions. She pays attention to issues that often come up with aging, blended families, and caregiving stress. Practical problem solving is mixed with emotional support to address both immediate needs and longer-term patterns.
Sessions often focus on improving communication, setting healthier boundaries, and managing strong emotions like anger, guilt, or shame. She also supports people dealing with loneliness, identity questions, or a loss of life purpose. The goal is clearer choices and more usable coping skills.
Connie works in ways that fit each person’s life and goals. She draws on Motivational Interviewing and elements of the Gottman Method when relationship communication is a concern. Overall, the work is collaborative and grounded in everyday steps that build resilience.
Using ACT and CBT Online for Real-Life Change
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, life transitions, and finding more meaning in daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve problem solving. It often helps with anxiety, depression, stress management, and coping with change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Connie will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide which tools to try first. The plan can shift over time based on what helps you make steady progress.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep the focus on practical steps and clear goals.
