About Connie
Connie Owens is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, relationship struggles, and other life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely to each person's story. Her work focuses on practical steps that people can use between sessions to feel steadier and more able to cope.
She brings 25 years of experience to sessions and practices in Colorado. Connie uses a mix of approaches so she can match methods to the person in front of her.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on what the client wants to change and how to get there. Connie draws from cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. She also uses acceptance and commitment principles to help people live more in line with their values.
Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationship patterns and closeness issues. People who come for help might be dealing with trauma, substance concerns, bipolar mood challenges, parenting strain, body image worries, or burnout from caregiving. Connie also supports clients working through sexual intimacy concerns, eating or sleeping problems, and challenges linked to aging or chronic illness.
Her tone in sessions is direct but warm. She helps people set realistic steps, practice new skills, and notice progress. The focus is on clear, manageable changes that fit each person’s life and values.
How Connie’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Connie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her online practice. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different actions to reduce distress and change outcomes. ACT helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values, even when difficult feelings are present.She treats approach selection as a collaborative exploration. During early sessions she and the client review goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan so it fits the person’s needs and preferences. The aim is to find methods that feel useful in daily life rather than sticking rigidly to one model.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to support flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth work and face-to-face interaction, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and brief check-ins or skill practice can fit well into live chat or messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the focus on skill-building and real-world progress.
