About Connie

Connie Owens is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Clinical Social Worker (CSW) with 25 years of practice experience. She works with adults on issues such as anger, addiction, relationship problems, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, and stress. She also addresses concerns like parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, self-esteem, ADHD, and career stress.

Her approach mixes practical, evidence-informed methods with attention to how life circumstances affect mood and behavior. Connie uses therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered techniques. She emphasizes looking at multiple aspects of a person’s life rather than focusing on a single symptom.

Connie has worked across health and behavioral settings for many years and draws on that variety when planning sessions. She notes that what helps one person may not suit another, so she adapts methods to fit each individual. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what the client wants to change.

She brings experience with trauma, substance use, and grief work, and has used trauma-focused methods in those areas. Her background also includes faith-informed counseling for people who request it, and an interest in how nutrition and overall living patterns interact with mental health.

People who contact her can expect a direct but respectful style. Sessions aim to identify patterns that feed anger or stress and then practice concrete skills to interrupt those patterns and build alternatives.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anger tied to avoidance, guilt, or ongoing stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep a problem going and practicing specific exercises to change them. CBT is often used for anger, anxiety, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to test methods and adjust plans based on goals and what produces useful change. This means trying skill practice, tracking what helps, and shifting strategies when needed.

Practical benefits of working online include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy day. Confirm which session formats Connie offers before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online work can make brief check-ins easier, allow for flexible appointment times, and reduce travel time so clients can focus on skill practice and managing anger in everyday situations.
