About Connie

Connie Owens is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical support for parents and adults facing hard life moments. She draws on 25 years of experience to help people dealing with anxiety, grief, addiction, mood shifts, and stress. Her style is straightforward but kind, meeting people where they are and tailoring steps to each person’s life.

Connie emphasizes whole-person care. She pays attention to mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional needs when making a plan.

Background and approach

That means talking about routines, sleep, nutrition, relationships, and daily habits alongside feelings and thoughts. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - and dialectical behavior therapy - DBT - to teach skills for coping and emotional regulation. She also applies attachment-based ideas to help people understand long-standing patterns from relationships.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is part of her toolbox when the focus is building values-based actions. Her background includes a broad range of clinical work across the lifespan and settings from medical care to grief support. Connie holds Colorado and Florida licenses: CO LCSW CSW.09930016 and FL LCSW SW16385.

She also has a long history addressing trauma and related issues, and she integrates approaches to match each person’s needs. Sessions aim to leave people with practical next steps and clearer ways to handle everyday challenges. Connie values direct but respectful conversation and works with clients to set realistic goals and skills they can use between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Connie commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - to help people notice and change the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is practical and skills-focused, useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns.

She also draws on attachment-based therapy to look at patterns that began in close relationships. This approach helps people see why they react a certain way and practice new, healthier ways of relating and coping.

Finding the right approach is treated as a team effort. Connie will discuss options and adapt methods to match each person’s goals, preferences, and daily life. The first few sessions often focus on clear, shared goals and simple steps to try between meetings.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to keep that work going. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a deeper connection is helpful. Phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between meetings or fit therapy into a busy day. These formats help people access consistent care from Colorado or elsewhere and practice new skills in real time.

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.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
