About Connie
Connie Seth is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) practicing in Iowa with 30 years of professional experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, anger, depression, and mood shifts. Connie aims to meet each person where they are and supports them as they take steps toward a more manageable life.
Connie keeps conversations straightforward and respectful. She listens for what matters to each person and tailors the work to individual needs. Sessions focus on real problems and practical ways to cope, rather than jargon or rigid approaches.
Her background includes long experience with trauma and abuse, caregiving stress, chronic pain and illness, and the emotional strain of relationship and family problems. She also addresses issues such as hoarding, impulsivity, infidelity, and complications that follow divorce or separation.
Connie uses several evidence-informed methods to guide the work. That includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing emotions and behavior, Motivational Interviewing to support change, Solution-Focused strategies to set concrete goals, and trauma-focused approaches for processing past harm.
Money and financial issues are listed among the concerns she helps people with, often alongside life transitions and caregiver burden. Her style is practical and collaborative, helping clients build coping tools and clearer next steps. To begin, clients complete an online matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.
How Connie’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Connie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to help people change unhelpful thoughts and manage intense emotions. CBT focuses on identifying patterns that keep stress and low mood going and testing new ways of thinking. DBT offers concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills for people who struggle with strong reactions.Motivational Interviewing is also part of her toolkit and is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. It centers on the person’s own goals and builds motivation in small steps. These approaches are offered collaboratively - Connie works with clients to decide what fits their goals and preferences rather than imposing a single method.
If you are considering online work, confirm the available session formats before booking as session types are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a person’s day. It can also let people use skills from sessions directly in their daily routines. A conversation at the start will clarify which methods and session arrangements will best support your objectives.
