About Connie
Connie Owens is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, relationship strain, ADHD, and other life challenges. Her style is both warm and straightforward, and she aims to meet people where they are without judgment.
Connie uses practical talk therapy that focuses on what will make daily life better. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and on dialectical skills to manage intense emotions.
Background and approach
She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful actions. Her background spans many areas of care, including grief work, substance use disorders, and trauma recovery. Connie has provided both individual and group services and has worked across the lifespan in settings that include hospice and medical care.
She holds LCSW and CSW credentials and practices in Colorado. In sessions she pays attention to the whole person - thoughts, body, relationships, and meaning. That means conversations can include behavioral strategies, emotion regulation skills, and attention to life routines like sleep and nutrition.
She adapts plans so they fit each person’s life, values, and goals. Connie is comfortable working with people who want faith-informed talks as part of therapy, as well as those preferring a secular approach. Her aim is to empower clients to build lasting habits and to handle setbacks with clearer coping skills.
Approaches that guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them, and it emphasizes choosing actions that match personal values. This can be useful for depression, anxiety, and motivation struggles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete strategies to change patterns that cause distress. It often helps with anxiety, mood problems, and sleep or eating issues.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can reduce intense reactions and improve relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Connie will talk with clients about goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That collaborative process is how a plan becomes useful in everyday life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is good for deeper conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework feedback, or when shorter, more frequent contact is helpful. These options aim to make therapy flexible and easier to use around daily routines.
