How Connie's Approaches Guide Online Work
Connie frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking concrete steps that match personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape reactions and helps people rewrite unhelpful patterns in close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Connie works collaboratively to identify what fits a person’s needs and goals. Together they try different strategies, watch what helps, and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful to daily life.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches lend themselves to short skill practice and homework that translate well to remote sessions. Ask about scheduling, session length, and any preferences so sessions can be arranged to match routines and goals.
