Background and approach
Sessions focus on workable strategies and steady progress rather than quick fixes. She draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Motivational interviewing is used to support people who want change but feel stuck.
Solution-focused methods help set clear, achievable steps so clients can see forward movement. Connie also brings experience with trauma and adoption or foster care issues. She aims to create a predictable and respectful space where people can talk through painful memories and learn coping skills.
Her background includes two master’s degrees from Stetson University, one in counselor education and one in mental health, which inform her clinical perspective. Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Connie works with each person to build a treatment plan that fits their life and goals.
She emphasizes steady progress, practical tools, and ongoing support as people work toward feeling better.
Practical Approaches for Online Support
Connie often uses cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people notice patterns of thinking that get in the way and practice new behaviors. CBT is focused on clear steps and homework that can change day-to-day routines and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. This approach is useful when someone feels unsure or stuck about changing habits related to addiction, health, or routine. It focuses on drawing out a person’s own goals and building momentum in small steps.
Finding the right method is part of the work together. Connie will collaborate with each person to figure out which approaches match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made and priorities change.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is suited for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text can serve for quick check-ins or shorter updates. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and make ongoing support easier to maintain.
