About Connie
Connie Champion is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin who centers her work on practical, evidence-informed strategies to help clients move forward.
Background and approach
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside solution-focused and client-centered techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, build coping skills, and create manageable plans for change. With a career spanning 24 years, she emphasizes strength-based planning and concrete steps tailored to each person's goals.
Her background includes roles in youth counseling, substance use programs, and clinical supervision, which inform a flexible approach across a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, mood disorders, trauma, grief, relationship and parenting challenges, and career transitions.
Connie blends motivational interviewing, mindfulness practices, and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support emotional regulation and problem solving. She meets clients where they are and collaborates on realistic strategies to reduce distress and promote functioning, using a format and pace that suit each individual's needs.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Connie regularly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, a practical approach that often targets anxiety, depression, and coping skills training. She also integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathy and collaboration to create a supportive space where clients' perspectives guide the goals and pace of work. Additionally, she draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness strategies useful for mood and impulse-related concerns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and will adjust techniques over time so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single method. This shared decision making helps shape a tailored path for progress that feels manageable and relevant.
Online therapy with Connie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow clients to engage from home or other convenient locations, fit sessions into busy schedules, and use a communication style that works best for them while maintaining regular contact and continuity of care.
