About Connie

Connie Owens, LCSW, CSW, supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, and money-related life strain. She has 25 years of practice and brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions. Her approach is straightforward and respectful, aimed at helping people make changes that fit their daily lives.

Connie emphasizes a whole-person view. She looks at thinking, behavior, relationships, and life routines together. She draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, client-centered work, and attachment-based ideas to shape a plan that matches each person.

Her background includes long experience across a wide range of concerns, from trauma and narcissistic abuse to substance use and grief. She has cared for people at different life stages and has worked with issues related to body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and parenting strain. Connie also notes experience with bipolar conditions, ADHD, and intimacy-related matters.

Connie uses practical tools in sessions: skills practice, values-based goal setting, emotion regulation strategies, and communication exercises. She says she meets people where they are and adapts methods to fit beliefs and preferences. Nutrition and lifestyle factors are also part of the conversation when relevant to a person’s goals.

People can expect a direct but gentle tone in sessions. Connie frames change as a collaborative process and emphasizes concrete steps clients can take between meetings. She works from Colorado and offers services as described in her profile.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on values and small steps toward what matters. It helps people shift from getting stuck to taking meaningful action even when feelings are hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at thinking and behavior patterns and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful habits and reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication for people who struggle with intense feelings or impulsive reactions.

Finding the best approach is part of the first sessions. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, day-to-day life, and what feels comfortable. That collaborative process may blend elements of different approaches as needed.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier fit with daily schedules, fewer travel demands, and the ability to check in from different locations. If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the specific session formats available before booking so you know what to expect. Many people find remote sessions help them keep consistency and use skills between meetings while still getting structured, professional support from a licensed professional.
