About Connie
Connie Jenks is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 19 years of clinical experience who helps people facing anger, trauma, depression, addictions, and grief. She supports clients dealing with mood disorders, bipolar symptoms, and the stress of life changes. Connie aims to make the first step feel manageable for a worried person seeking help.
She keeps sessions straightforward and focused. Conversations center on what matters to the client now and practical steps to feel steadier.
Background and approach
Connie listens without judgment and helps people name feelings, spot patterns, and try new ways of responding to difficult moments. Her background includes long-term clinical work in Virginia, where she has supported people through post-traumatic stress, seasonally linked low mood, and complicated grief. She also works with concerns like self-harm urges, trichotillomania, and co-occurring conditions that complicate recovery.
Connie uses several common approaches to guide her work. She draws on client-centered methods to build trust, cognitive behavioral strategies to reframe unhelpful thoughts, and trauma-focused tools when past events continue to cause distress. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas help when people want clearer steps forward.
Sessions are offered in English and Connie accepts international clients. She understands how compassion fatigue and communication struggles affect daily life and supports people who want to rebuild routines, repair self-esteem, and reduce anger-driven reactions.

Therapeutic approaches for online anger and trauma work
Connie uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about anger, loss, or past trauma. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting what matters most, and building trust so new steps feel doable.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people notice the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers practical tools for reducing intense reactions, testing unhelpful beliefs, and practicing different responses to triggers.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Connie collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. She adjusts the mix of listening, skill-building, and short-term problem solving as needs change over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different schedules and preferences. Video is useful for deeper, face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text are helpful for brief check-ins, morning planning, or practicing skills between sessions. These options make it easier to fit regular therapy into a busy life.
