About Connie

Connie Owens is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of professional experience who focuses on helping people navigate addiction, trauma, grief, relationship and mood concerns, and a broad array of life stresses.

Background and approach

She practices from Colorado and brings a holistic orientation that considers emotional patterns alongside lifestyle and interpersonal dynamics. Her work includes attention to issues like anxiety, depression, bipolar conditions, ADHD, intimacy and communication difficulties, and caregiving stress.

Connie blends evidence-informed techniques with a client-centered stance, drawing on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based methods, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She emphasizes collaborative planning and tailors interventions to each person’s values and circumstances.

Sessions aim to build practical skills, strengthen coping and self-understanding, and address patterns that interfere with relationships and well-being. Known for a style that is both gentle and direct, Connie adapts therapy to respect individual beliefs and goals.

She accepts international clients and offers video, phone, chat, and text-based sessions, and asks prospective clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire to begin the process.

Integrating practical approaches in online therapy



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills for accepting difficult feelings while clarifying values and taking committed action toward a meaningful life, which can help with stress, grief, and chronic concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships and how early relational experiences shape current connection and trust, which supports work on intimacy, communication problems, and attachment issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and this therapist treats that as a collaborative process. Together the therapist and client will consider presenting concerns, personal goals, and preferences to shape a plan that may combine elements from different methods to fit the person's needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to attend from varied locations and schedules. These formats support consistent work on skills, allow for timely check-ins, and help integrate therapeutic tools into everyday life while accommodating different communication needs and rhythms.
