How Constance works
Her work addresses stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, sleep problems, anger, grief, and addiction. She also helps with parenting concerns, ADHD, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Relationship strain, family problems, and issues tied to identity or body image are also areas she supports.
Constance draws on several therapeutic approaches to guide conversations and skill-building. She often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques alongside client-centered and narrative ideas. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills may be introduced when emotion regulation and coping skills are needed.
Clients can expect straightforward coaching and practical tools. Sessions focus on identifying strengths, setting realistic goals, and practicing small changes that add up. Constance frames therapy as a collaborative process where the person in front of her leads the direction and she offers guidance.
She works in Oklahoma and offers services in English. Her background in teaching and nursing informs a practical, down-to-earth approach to helping people get unstuck and move toward their goals.

Online support options
Approach-led care online with flexible formats
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to clarify values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up; it is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing practical skills to change behavior and mood; it is commonly helpful for depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. Client-centered therapy centers the person's own experience, offering empathy and reflective listening to help them find their own solutions and build self-trust.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Constance will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She often blends techniques so sessions stay practical and focused on what the individual wants to achieve.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit day-to-day life. Video calls allow face-to-face connection for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter updates, skill practice, or when written reflection feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to keep regular work on goals and practice new skills between meetings.
