Approach-Focused Online Therapy with Flexible Access
Connie uses several evidence-informed approaches to guide her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and emotions, and take committed actions that align with what matters most - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and a nonjudgmental, supportive stance so clients can lead the pace and direction of change - this approach supports people processing grief, exploring identity, or working through relationship issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical, skill-based techniques, which can help with depression, anxiety, and stress management.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Connie works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. She helps clients experiment with strategies and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Connie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and reach people regardless of location. These options make it easier to maintain consistency, access timely support, and continue working toward meaningful change with licensed professionals and therapists who match each client’s needs.
