Connie Harrington, LPC - Therapist in Pennsylvania

About Connie

Connie Harrington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 22 years of experience. She uses practical, evidence-based approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strain. Her way of working is straightforward and compassionate.

She listens, asks clear questions, and helps people try new skills in day-to-day life. Her practice often focuses on family and parenting issues alongside broader life challenges like career transitions and coping with change.

Background and approach

She also addresses concerns such as self-esteem, anger, caregiver stress, and blended family dynamics. This gives parents and family members tools to handle tensions at home and manage emotional ups and downs. Connie draws from methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to shape sessions.

She also uses motivational interviewing and elements of the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are part of the work. Sessions aim to be collaborative and action-oriented so progress feels tangible. People can expect practical exercises, clearer communication strategies, and steps to reduce unhelpful thinking patterns.

Connie pays attention to life-stage challenges including aging and caregiver roles, and she helps people sort through feelings of isolation, guilt, or grief. Her focus is on helping clients build routines and skills that fit real family life. Connie conducts sessions in English and works remotely by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Her LPC credential is PA LPC PC000745 and she practices in Pennsylvania. To begin, people follow the platform steps to match and schedule a session.

How therapeutic approaches guide online family and parenting work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and decisions that affect family life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches skills to change patterns that cause distress. CBT is practical for depression, worry, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-directive stance where the therapist follows the client’s pace and priorities to build insight and confidence.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. Sessions can blend elements from different approaches based on what helps the family or individual move forward.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Those options make it easier to fit sessions around parenting schedules, work, and caregiving duties. Remote formats also let people practice skills between meetings and keep continuity when life gets busy or travel is needed.

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.
