About Connie

Connie Drew is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting struggles, anger, and relationship strain. She draws on 15 years of experience to support those looking for practical steps and steady guidance. Connie often works with issues related to family and parenting and with people exploring life purpose and self-love.

She uses clear, goal-oriented methods so conversations stay focused and useful.

Background and approach

Sessions typically explore patterns of thought and behavior, set small goals, and try out new ways of responding between meetings. Connie aims for a warm, interactive style that centers the relationship between therapist and client. Connie holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential, LPC, and the Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor credential, LCMHC.

She is based in Tennessee and conducts work in English. She also accepts international clients. Her training includes cognitive-behavioral techniques and solution-focused methods, with additional experience in humanistic and psychodynamic ideas.

That mix allows her to tailor sessions to a person’s needs while keeping practical change in view. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions that fit their timing. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and offers several online formats to match different preferences.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Connie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. CBT focuses on practical skills you can use between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address parenting or relationship patterns.

She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on small, achievable changes. That approach helps people identify what is already working and build quick steps toward clearer family interactions or personal goals.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Connie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then adapt techniques to fit their situation. Together they set goals and review progress so therapy stays relevant to real life.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. Video calls let people meet face to face, phone sessions work when video is not possible, and live chat or text-based messaging are options for shorter check-ins or ongoing support. These formats make it easier to keep momentum and practice changes where they matter most.

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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
