Background and approach

Conversations focus on skills you can use day to day and ways to shift difficult patterns that cause stress or strain in relationships. Her background includes training in several evidence-informed approaches. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

For trauma she may use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address intense memories. She also draws on the Gottman Method for relationship work and Motivational Interviewing to support change. In sessions Connie aims to build trust and a calm space for honest conversation.

She works collaboratively to choose approaches that fit each person’s needs. The goal is steady progress you can see in everyday life. Work is conducted in English and is offered through a variety of online formats.

Connie provides clear next steps so people know how to begin therapy and what to expect from the first few meetings.

Online approaches that focus on practical change

Connie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often involves setting small homework tasks and trying new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety or low mood.

She also works with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for trauma-related memories. EMDR is a structured method that can reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and the reactions they trigger.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Connie discusses options and tailors methods to fit a person’s goals, comfort level, and the problems they want to address. She will work together with clients to adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, while phone sessions are useful when video is not convenient. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter, more frequent touchpoints between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to keep working on goals from home or work.

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.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.

Gottman Method

A research-based framework for couples, focused on how partners argue, repair, and stay connected. Practical and structured, with exercises to try between sessions.
