About Connie

Connie Owens, LCSW, CSW, offers steady support for people navigating big life changes. She writes in a direct and caring way and aims to make therapy practical and understandable. Connie draws on 25 years of practice to help people cope with grief, anxiety, addiction, relationship pain, and other life disruptions.

She uses straightforward talk and a gentle, firm stance in sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what can change. Connie combines approaches so the work fits the person rather than forcing one method on everyone.

Her background includes long experience across many concerns from trauma and substance use to bereavement and chronic illness. She practices in Colorado and holds LCSW and CSW credentials in her record. She also has worked with people who are dealing with narcissistic abuse and with those facing major health challenges.

In therapy she pays attention to mind, body, soul, and spirit and looks at how those parts interact for each person. Practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and skills from dialectical behavior work are used alongside attachment-focused listening. Connie also integrates values and, when clients request it, faith-informed themes.

Sessions aim to build skills for daily life, reduce distress, and create clearer next steps. She asks clients to be active in the work and helps them design plans that fit their routines. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's calendar.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when life changes leave someone stuck or unsure what matters most. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape how people connect today and helps rebuild trust and secure ways of relating. It can be useful for relationship stress and intimacy concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood, sleep issues, and day-to-day stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Then they will recommend a blend of methods and adjust over time so the plan fits the client's needs.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, provide a shorter check-in option when needed, or allow work without commuting. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively in remote sessions, and the focus remains on practical skills, values-guided goals, and steady support through life transitions.
