Connie Anderson, LPC - Therapist in Mississippi

About Connie

Connie Anderson is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns along with trauma, grief, anxiety, and stress. She greets new visitors with a calm, straightforward approach and aims to make the first steps easier. Parents and caregivers often choose her when family changes, conflicts, or grief feel overwhelming.

She emphasizes a trusting relationship and clear goals in early sessions. Connie draws on nine years of experience in outpatient mental health work.

Background and approach

She holds a Master of Science in Counseling from William Carey University and practices in Mississippi. Her training includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and other trauma-informed methods. In sessions she listens first, then helps clients set practical goals.

She uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral work and supportive, strengths-based strategies to manage anxiety, improve communication, and address parenting challenges. When trauma is part of the story, she can use EMDR or trauma-focused techniques as appropriate. Her style is warm and validating while also encouraging clients to face barriers that get in the way of change.

She aims to tailor methods based on each family’s needs and values. Parents can expect a collaborative process that focuses on building on strengths and improving day-to-day functioning. Connie works with individuals, couples, children, and families and has substantial experience with adoption and foster care issues, blended family concerns, and caregiver stress.

She also addresses ADHD, anger, impulse control, relationship problems, and the effects of loss and abandonment.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes by teaching practical skills for staying present and moving toward goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and low self-esteem because it provides clear, teachable strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person or family about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether ACT, CBT, EMDR, or a mix of methods makes the most sense for the situation. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what will be most useful for the client.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexible ways to keep therapy consistent with busy family schedules. These options make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, and caregiving duties. They also allow follow-up, brief check-ins, and practical coaching between live sessions to keep progress moving forward.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
