About Constance
Constance Guthrie is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with seven years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, coping with life changes, and ADHD. Sessions focus on concrete skills and practical steps rather than labels or jargon.
She favors straightforward, client-centered conversations that treat the person as the expert on their own life. Constance uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to address patterns of thinking, impulsivity, and emotional regulation. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also appear in sessions to support clearer choices and small behavioral changes.
Many clients work on anger that shows up as snapping at loved ones, building resentment, or trouble managing frustration at work. Constance helps people notice triggers, try new coping strategies, and practice short skills that can be used in the moment. She also addresses overlapping concerns such as sleep disruption, panic attacks, chronic pain, and relationship communication problems.
Her background includes a bachelor of social work from Oakland University and a master of clinical social work from Michigan State University. As an LMSW she brings seven years of practice applying evidence-based techniques to everyday problems. She offers sessions in English and does not accept international clients.

How sessions work
How Constance uses evidence-based approaches online
Constance commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when working with anger and related concerns. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioral experiments to change how people respond to stress and triggers. DBT teaches concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that can reduce impulsive reactions and improve communication.She also uses client-centered techniques to keep sessions collaborative, and motivational interviewing to help people clarify what matters to them and move toward manageable change. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Constance will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try techniques together to see what fits.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. Those practical benefits often help people practice skills between meetings and apply them to real situations.
