How Connie works
Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy shape short-term goals and manageable steps toward change. Sessions are tailored to each person's needs. Connie listens for what matters most, then shapes a plan that fits daily life.
She supports people working through relationship problems, parenting stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and the fallout from separation or loss. Her work also covers issues like impulsivity, hoarding, financial stress, isolation, and compassion fatigue. For trauma and abuse, she incorporates trauma-focused techniques aimed at reducing symptoms and restoring a sense of control.
The focus is on clear steps, not jargon. Connie describes therapy as a team effort. She helps people set realistic goals, practice new skills between sessions, and track progress.
Her style is calm, direct, and respectful, intended to make difficult topics easier to handle in everyday life.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Connie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against real-life evidence to reduce anxiety and depression. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication for people who struggle with intense feelings or impulsive behavior.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Connie discusses your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before to pick methods that fit. She adjusts plans over time so techniques match your progress and changing needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, quick coaching between sessions, and flexible scheduling across the week.
