About Connie

Connie Owens is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Certified Social Worker (CSW) with 25 years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, grief, depression, relationship problems, substance use, trauma and a wide range of life stresses. Connie practices in Colorado and offers services in English, and she accepts international clients.

Connie favors straightforward, practical conversations. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what can change. She draws on therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), attachment-based ideas, and client-centered work. The aim is to use approaches that fit a person’s needs rather than force a single method.

Her background includes long experience with trauma, grief, and relationship harm, including work with people recovering from narcissistic abuse and substance use challenges. She also has a background in Christian counseling and has used faith-based principles when clients request them. Nutrition and broader lifestyle factors are considered alongside talk therapy when relevant.

In sessions she is direct but respectful. Conversations will often include practical skills, emotional regulation tools, and steps to change harmful patterns. Therapy may include discussing relationships, coping strategies for anxiety and depression, and plans to manage stress and life transitions.

Clients who prefer a mix of structured techniques and reflective conversation may find this approach useful. Before booking, confirm the current session options so arrangements match personal needs and schedules.

How Connie’s approaches translate to online work

Connie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Attachment-Based ideas. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which can reduce worry and improve behavior. ACT teaches skills to notice thoughts and commit to actions that reflect personal values, helpful for anxiety and life changes. Attachment-informed work looks at relationship patterns and helps people change repetitive ways of relating that cause pain.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Connie will work with each person to decide which methods to try first and will adjust as needs and goals become clearer. The process is gradual and based on preferences, symptoms, and what feels manageable for the client.

The therapist biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people use tools such as worksheets and home-based experiments between meetings. If you have questions about how sessions will be arranged or what to expect in a virtual meeting, confirm those details when you schedule so sessions match your routine and goals.
