Connie Chapman, LICSW

Connie Chapman is a licensed independent clinical social worker. She practices in Washington and has seven years of experience as a LICSW. Connie focuses on helping people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and depression.

She aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. Connie encourages people to talk about what matters most and to identify small steps they can try between meetings. She listens for patterns in thinking and behavior and works with clients to test different ways of handling hard moments.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, among other methods, to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try more useful responses. She also uses EMDR for trauma-related work and the Gottman Method for relationship issues when appropriate. Motivational Interviewing informs how she supports people who want to make changes but feel stuck.

Connie keeps language plain and sessions focused on everyday problems. That might look like practicing a new way to respond during an argument, trying a breathing or grounding exercise, or planning a step toward a goal. She helps clients weigh options and track what works over time.

People who prefer calm, practical conversations tend to do well with her style. Connie invites curiosity and steady progress rather than quick fixes. She works with each person to find approaches that fit their life and goals.

How Connie’s Approaches Work Online

Connie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, then practice new, more helpful responses. CBT works well for anxiety, depression, panic, and many day-to-day stresses. EMDR is used for trauma-related memories and reactions; it involves focused processing that can reduce the intensity of painful memories and related triggers.

Choosing the right method is a team effort. Connie will talk with each person about their history, current struggles, and goals. Together they try approaches that match needs and adjust the plan as progress is made, staying flexible about what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video lets for face-to-face conversation and in-session exercises. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can work when video isn’t possible. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or mobility limits.
