About Connie

Connie Chapman is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Washington who brings seven years of focused clinical experience to her therapy work. She supports people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and challenges related to parenting.

Background and approach

Her background also includes attention to areas such as abandonment, blended family adjustments, chronic illness or pain, communication problems, divorce and separation, and mood and panic-related concerns. Connie aims to cultivate an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and begin to map out practical paths forward.

She draws on evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR to address distressing symptoms and relationship patterns, and she integrates tools from the Gottman Method and Motivational Interviewing when relevant. Her style emphasizes collaboration, empowerment, and helping clients build skills they can use between sessions.

Clients who value structured approaches along with empathic support may find her practice a good match. Connie works with each person to set goals, try strategies that fit their life, and adapt planning as progress and needs evolve.

Approaches for change in online therapy

Connie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress. CBT focuses on concrete strategies such as coping skills, behavioral experiments, and restructuring thoughts to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

She also incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a trauma-focused approach that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity through guided bilateral stimulation paired with therapeutic processing. EMDR is often used for post-traumatic stress and other trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Connie discusses methods, goals, and preferences with each client and adapts her plan over time so that techniques align with what feels most helpful and practical for the individual's situation.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing work to continue around work, family, and health constraints. These options make consistent attendance and real-time skill practice more accessible, and they allow licensed professionals to provide ongoing care to people across Washington who prefer remote formats.
