About Connie

Connie Owens, LCSW, CSW, offers steady, practical support for people facing complex life challenges. She focuses on helping individuals cope with issues like trauma, addiction, grief, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and the stresses of caregiving. Connie uses straightforward language and aims to meet people where they are in their healing.

Connie brings 25 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker. She describes her work as holistic and looks at the whole person - mind, body, soul, and spirit - when making a plan. Her background includes work across a wide range of concerns from substance use and mental health to grief, chronic illness, and trauma. She also mentions work with people affected by narcissistic abuse.

Her style is gentle but direct. Conversations are shaped to the person's values and goals, and she adapts techniques to what fits each individual. She lists approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior strategies.

Connie notes experience that includes Christian-informed counseling and attention to lifestyle factors such as nutrition as part of overall wellbeing. She encourages active participation - doing the work in between sessions matters to progress.

Located in Colorado, she works with people in English and accepts international clients. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.

How her approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take steps toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is skills-based and helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which is often helpful for mood, anxiety, and addiction-related concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape patterns of relating and can help with intimacy, trust, and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Connie aims to collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and personal values. That means she may blend techniques and check in regularly to see what is helping.

The practical benefits of online care can include fitting sessions into a busy day, shortening travel time, or making it easier to keep regular appointments. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. A brief online session can work well for quick check-ins, while a longer session may be better for deeper work such as trauma processing or complex relationship issues. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and skill practice to an online setting so progress can continue between meetings.
