About Connie

Connie Owens, LCSW, CSW, offers practical support for people facing life changes and health-related challenges. She focuses on problems such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, and coping with chronic illness or caregiving stress. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at helping people make steady, workable changes.

Connie brings 25 years of clinical experience and practices from a holistic perspective. She sees mental, physical, and spiritual needs as connected and works with clients to address those areas together. Sessions emphasize clear steps, coping skills, and attention to how stress, sleep, eating, and physical pain affect day-to-day life.

Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-based ideas, and client-centered techniques. Connie adapts methods to each person rather than following a single formula. She aims to be direct yet gentle, listening closely and helping clients set realistic goals.

People who have experienced trauma, loss, or ongoing health problems may find the practical focus useful. Connie has long experience supporting people through substance use concerns, trauma, grief, and the emotional effects of chronic conditions. She also integrates attention to relationships, boundaries, and patterns that keep problems repeating.

Sessions include collaborative planning, skill practice, and straightforward homework when it helps. Connie emphasizes respect for each person’s beliefs and values, and she works with those who want faith-informed perspectives as part of therapy.

How these approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps you notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then focus on actions that match your values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with chronic health problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and physical symptoms interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with mood, sleep, and stress-related symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build safer, more trusting connections in their lives.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Connie will collaborate with each person to identify what fits their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they try methods for a few sessions and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, save travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. Some approaches translate well to short skill-focused sessions, while others benefit from longer conversations; Connie tailors session focus so therapy fits everyday life without promising a specific format.
