About Connie

Connie Owens, LCSW, CSW, offers compassionate, practical care for people facing trauma and life stressors. She focuses on helping individuals who are coping with trauma and abuse, relationship strain, addiction, grief, anxiety, depression, and related concerns. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at finding workable steps forward.

Connie brings 25 years of clinical experience and a flexible, person-centered style. She draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused work, and client-centered listening. Sessions emphasize clear skills, emotional understanding, and realistic goals.

Her approach describes the whole person - mind, body, soul, and spirit - and considers how life circumstances, health, and relationships intersect with distress. She has experience across many concerns including substance use, narcissistic abuse recovery, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and grief. Connie also integrates values-based and faith-informed perspectives when clients want that included.

In therapy she aims to be gentle but direct, meeting people where they are and respecting their beliefs. Treatment plans are tailored to each person's needs, combining practical tools with attention to patterns of attachment and coping. Work may include skill building, reflection about relationship patterns, and plans to change behaviors that keep problems going.

Connie encourages active participation and believes progress follows effort. She helps people set achievable steps, build new habits, and plan for lasting change while supporting them through the challenges that come up along the way.

Approach-driven online care and flexible support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small, value-driven steps even when emotions are hard. It helps with anxiety, depression, and making life changes that match your goals. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and trust, which can be useful for people healing from trauma or repeated relationship harm. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try approaches that fit those needs, and adjust plans as progress or challenges appear. Clients shape the pace and focus based on what feels most useful in real life.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Online work can make it simpler to maintain continuity across moves or travel and can reduce the time spent on commuting. Because session formats were not specified in the profile, confirm which online options are offered before booking so you know what will best fit your daily routine and comfort.
