About Connie
Connie Owens is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Clinical Social Worker (CSW) with 25 years of experience supporting adults through major life stresses. She focuses on problems that often show up at home and in close relationships, including parenting strain, relationship conflict, grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, and addictions.
Connie uses a mix of practical talking and skills work rather than one single method. She often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses dialectical behavior skills for managing strong emotions and acceptance-based ideas to help clarify values and take meaningful action.
Her background includes long experience with trauma, substance use disorders, grief across the life span, and care for people facing chronic illness. She has worked with adults on intimacy-related concerns, body image, and difficulties tied to attachment and abandonment. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress and compassion fatigue.
Connie describes her style as direct but gentle. Conversations focus on practical steps the person can try between sessions. Nutrition and lifestyle factors are sometimes included as part of a broader plan when useful.
She offers therapy informed by several evidence-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, CBT, and DBT techniques. Sessions are aimed at clear, manageable goals and helping clients carry changes back into daily life.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, consistent steps toward them while learning to sit with difficult thoughts. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and gives concrete techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for mood, anxiety, and coping problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, relationship strain, and emotional overwhelm.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Connie will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on problems, goals, and personal preferences. That process may shift over time as progress and new needs emerge.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm the available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and remove commute time so people can use therapy during breaks or between responsibilities. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and DBT tools to remote sessions so clients can practice skills, set goals, and track small changes in everyday life.
