Connie Owens, LCSW, CSW

Connie Owens is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical help for people navigating addiction, trauma, relationship strain, grief, and mood concerns. She aims to create an accepting space where clients can begin to untangle stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and life transitions. Connie works from a straightforward, respectful style and keeps sessions focused on steps that matter to each person.

With 25 years of experience, Connie combines several therapy approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy alongside acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice patterns and try new behaviors. Attachment-based and client-centered ideas guide conversations about relationship wounds and self-worth.

Connie describes her overall stance as holistic - looking at mind, body, soul, and spirit when that fits a client’s goals. She also brings experience with trauma, grief, substance use concerns, and medical life stages such as caregiving and serious illness. Her background includes work across medical and community settings and practice in multiple states.

Her style is gentle but direct; she meets people where they are and respects their beliefs. For those who want faith integrated into care, she can include spiritual perspectives as part of an individualized plan. She emphasizes practical steps and accountability so people can see change when they do the work.

People who choose Connie usually want a therapist who balances compassion with clear tools. She supports exploration of eating and sleeping struggles, intimacy and parenting concerns, ADHD-related coping, and career or life-course changes. Sessions focus on what a person can try next and how to sustain progress.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where new directions are needed.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to change patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy brings skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can help when emotions feel overwhelming or relationship patterns repeat.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then try methods that seem like the best fit. That collaborative process can include trying a few different techniques and adjusting as progress is tracked.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and work around work or caregiver hours. If you plan to start, confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what to expect. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and DBT skills to online work in ways that support steady progress without promising specific outcomes.
