About Connie

Connie Owens is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of practice who focuses on helping people manage complex life challenges including ADHD, trauma, addictions, grief, depression, anxiety, and relationship concerns.

Background and approach

She brings a broad, person-centered stance and emphasizes treating each individual as unique rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all method. Connie's work balances evidence-informed techniques with attention to the whole person, addressing mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions as they relate to wellbeing.

Her clinical style blends structured therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy with attachment-informed and client-centered approaches. Connie draws on longstanding experience across areas from substance use and bereavement to intimacy and self-esteem issues, and she integrates her training in holistic mental health and functional nutrition into treatment planning when appropriate.

She practices in Colorado and holds LCSW and CSW credentials, offering a compassionate, direct presence that aims to support clients ready to engage in lasting change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Connie commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression, while ACT emphasizes accepting difficult feelings and committing to value-driven actions to build a more meaningful life. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to explore how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to determine which methods align best with their goals, experiences, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds and new needs emerge.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow people to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations. The range of formats supports varied communication styles and makes it easier to engage in consistent care that complements daily life.
