How Connie’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and following what matters to the person. Online sessions can still prioritize those elements by giving people space to describe worries and set their own goals. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches noticing thoughts and choosing values-driven action, which can be practiced between meetings and reviewed in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and uses simple exercises to try new responses, which translates well to remote work and homework tasks.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Connie will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest what to try first. If something doesn’t fit, she will adjust the plan together so it matches daily life and priorities.
The therapist's biography does not state specific session formats here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and keep momentum by allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports doing practical exercises between meetings and reviewing progress in regular intervals with a licensed professional.
