About Connie
Connie Owens is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience helping people navigate hard moments. She focuses on practical steps to manage stress, anger, addiction, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Connie speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel understandable and doable for people who are tired or overwhelmed.
Her approach blends evidence-informed methods with attention to the whole person. Sessions often look at thoughts, behaviors, and emotional patterns while also considering how life circumstances affect wellbeing.
Background and approach
Connie uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy alongside acceptance and commitment ideas to help people gain steadier control over reactions and choices. Connie has long experience working with trauma, grief, substance use concerns, and issues around identity and intimacy. She helps people process losses, set boundaries, and reduce patterns that lead to repeated hurt.
Her work also covers sleep and eating struggles, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and career or life-stage transitions. In session she balances direct feedback with respect for each person’s values and beliefs. She describes her style as gentle but straightforward, aiming to teach skills and create concrete plans people can use between meetings.
Connie is licensed as an LCSW with practice ties to Colorado. People can expect a practical, person-focused process that combines talk, skill-building, and problem solving. The goal is clearer thinking, calmer responses, and better daily functioning rather than quick fixes.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values instead of reacting on impulse. This approach is useful for stress, anger, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and teaching new, practical skills to change them. It often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication when reactions feel intense or overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes fitting therapy into a busy life easier. Video lets people work face-to-face from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or a better fit for brief check-ins. Live chat and messaging support ongoing reflection and short coaching between longer sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and help people access consistent support on schedules that work for them.
