About Constance
Constance Akonumbo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with seven years of experience. She came to counseling after working in teaching and nursing, and she says those roles shaped how she listens and responds. Constance takes a warm, interactive approach and views the work as a partnership built on trust and honest communication.
She focuses on everyday problems that wear people down - stress, anxiety, depression, trouble sleeping, low self-esteem, and the struggles that follow big life changes.
Background and approach
She also helps with attention and impulse concerns, addictions, grief, anger, and compassion fatigue. Parenting and family-related issues are part of her practice as well. Constance draws on practical, evidence-informed methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based ideas.
She also uses client-centered and narrative approaches to help people make sense of their stories and find workable steps forward. Her style is direct but caring, and she emphasizes coaching alongside counseling. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused.
Constance helps people set clear, manageable steps and checks progress along the way. She believes change begins when someone chooses to act, and she supports that decision with guidance and accountability. People who prefer a respectful, coaching-minded therapist may find her style a good match.
She works with English-speaking clients and accepts international clients, offering several online session formats to fit varied schedules.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by clarifying what matters and building small steps toward it. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for stress, sleep problems, mood, and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respectful listening, empathy, and the client’s own goals; it creates space to explore challenges and make decisions at the client’s pace.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Constance will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily life to decide which methods to use. She often blends techniques so sessions match what the person needs in the moment, and she checks in on progress as work continues.
Online sessions can make therapy fit a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distances, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during short breaks, and live chat or text-based messaging work for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options provide flexibility for different schedules and communication preferences while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
