About Constance
Constance Akonumbo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with seven years in the helping professions. She moved into counseling after careers in teaching and nursing and draws on those experiences in her work. She approaches counseling as a partnership that asks for honesty, effort, and a willingness to change.
Constance keeps sessions warm and interactive. She listens for what matters most and helps people set practical steps toward their goals.
Background and approach
Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, sleep problems, anger, addiction, and low self-esteem. Her style blends practical, skills-based work with thoughtful conversations about meaning and values. She uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice patterns and try new actions.
Client-Centered ideas guide how she builds trust and respect in the room. Constance also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and narrative approaches when people need tools for intense emotions or for reworking stories that hold them back. She describes therapy as coaching plus counseling - teaching skills while exploring what matters most to each person.
People who choose her often want straightforward strategies and steady encouragement. She aims to help clients recognize strengths, practice new behaviors, and follow through on changes that matter to daily life. Constance works from Oklahoma and offers sessions in English.
How certain approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online sessions can guide experiments and homework to test new behaviors between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change thinking and behavior patterns that maintain anxiety or depression. In remote sessions clients often work on worksheets, behavioral experiments, and step-by-step plans together with the therapist. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an accepting, respectful relationship where the therapist listens and reflects to help clients find their own solutions; this supportive stance can be effective over video or phone when consistent, empathic contact is maintained.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Constance will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That process may mix approaches and adapt techniques so they make sense for the client’s situation and schedule.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people practice skills in real time, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, chat can be useful for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine and to keep momentum between meetings.
