About Constance
Constance Guthrie is a licensed master social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and challenges around parenting and ADHD. She uses clear, practical strategies to help people cope with big life changes and improve self-esteem. Her approach is warm and respectful, and she aims to make starting therapy feel manageable.
Guthrie values the client's knowledge of their own life and looks for strengths to build on.
How Constance works
Sessions focus on everyday skills - breathing and mindfulness exercises, problem-solving steps, and ways to change unhelpful thinking. She also uses goal-oriented tools when people want quick, practical change. Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Michigan State University and a bachelor's in social work from Oakland University.
As an LMSW she draws on seven years of experience with people facing trauma, chronic illness, panic, and mood concerns. She brings a calm, steady presence to sessions. Expect straight talk and concrete steps rather than long lectures.
Conversations often include role-play, small homework tasks, and brief skills practice so new habits can form between sessions. Motivation and values are explored when someone feels stuck. Therapy focuses on what is useful now and how to handle setbacks.
Constance adapts her work to each person's needs and explains tools in plain language. People leave sessions with things they can try right away.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person at the center of sessions. The therapist listens closely and helps people explore what matters to them, which is useful for concerns like grief, self-esteem, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and social fears.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Constance will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. That means talking through what feels useful, trying tools together, and adjusting the plan as needed in a collaborative way.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to keep momentum between sessions and to share brief updates or reflections when something comes up. These options let people fit therapy around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities while keeping steady therapeutic progress.
