About Constance

Constance Akonumbo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with seven years of experience who brings a varied background in education and nursing to her counseling practice.

Background and approach

She views counseling as a collaborative process and combines clinical knowledge with a warm, interactive stance to help clients set and work toward meaningful goals. Constance emphasizes respect, honest communication, and shared commitment as the foundation for productive work together.

Her work addresses a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, grief, relationship and family issues, and challenges with self-esteem and sleep. She also attends to personality and behavioral patterns such as attachment issues, impulsivity, avoidance, and control struggles, applying therapeutic tools to support coping and change.

Constance draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered and Existential methods to tailor interventions to each client's needs. Clients can expect a partnership-oriented therapist who values human dignity and encourages active participation in the change process.

She frames her role as coach and guide, helping people identify strengths and take practical steps toward their wellness and life goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed actions aligned with those values, while learning to accept uncomfortable thoughts and feelings rather than trying to eliminate them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce distress and improve functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skill-building in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help manage intense emotions and impulsive behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is done collaboratively. The therapist will work with clients to explore goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, then recommend and adapt methods so the work fits each individual’s needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access licensed professionals from different locations. These options can make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives and to continue consistent work despite scheduling or geographic constraints.
