About Constance

Constance Guthrie, LMSW, approaches therapy with a belief that people already hold many strengths they can draw on to face life’s challenges. She supports clients dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, self-esteem difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, coping with life changes, and ADHD, among other issues.

Background and approach

Her work also extends to areas such as adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, financial stress, panic attacks, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and women’s issues. Guthrie uses a collaborative, empathic style grounded in evidence-informed methods.

She integrates client-centered principles with cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior strategies, and weaves in mindfulness and motivational interviewing where helpful. This mix allows her to focus both on practical skills like emotion regulation and on exploring clients’ values and goals.

Based in Michigan, she brings seven years of practice as a licensed master social worker to sessions and emphasizes nonjudgmental support while helping clients build coping skills and practical plans for change.

Practical approaches for online treatment and skills work

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, helping people name their goals and build on strengths while the therapist offers empathy and support; this approach is useful when clients want a respectful space to explore values and personal challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors, making it a practical option for addressing anxiety, depression, panic, and many everyday problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for managing intense emotions and improving communication.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and the therapist works collaboratively to determine what methods best fit each client's needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions often begin with a conversation about priorities and then adapt techniques over time so the work feels tailored and useful.

Online therapy with this clinician is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency in care, practice skills between sessions, and access support from home or while traveling, all while working with licensed professionals to move toward stated goals.
