Connie Owens, LCSW, CSW

Connie Owens, LCSW, CSW, offers a practical, down-to-earth approach for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, addiction, trauma, or relationship and identity concerns. She focuses on helping people find steady coping strategies and clearer thinking in the middle of life’s hard moments. Sessions aim to be straightforward and respectful of each person’s values and beliefs.

With 25 years of experience, Connie uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with other approaches to match each person’s needs. She favors plain language and concrete steps rather than jargon. Clients can expect a blend of skill-building, reflective work, and problem-solving tailored to their situation.

Her background includes long-term practice across clinical settings and work with trauma, addiction, grief, mood concerns, and stress-related problems. She has clinical licenses as an LCSW in Colorado and Florida and also holds the CSW credential. Her practice has addressed a wide range of issues across the lifespan and life stages.

Connie describes her style as gentle but direct. She works with people to set practical goals, build coping skills, and notice patterns that get in the way of change. She also integrates consented spiritual values when clients want that as part of their care.

Sessions are offered in English and can take place through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Connie welcomes people from different regions, including international clients, and helps them create a plan that fits their daily life.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Connie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT often involves setting small, doable goals and practicing skills between sessions to reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic habits.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes clarifying values and learning to live a meaningful life even with difficult feelings. ACT can help people facing grief, chronic pain, or recurring worry by shifting how they relate to thoughts and emotions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Connie works with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, personality, and daily life. She checks in and adapts the plan as needed rather than using one fixed method for everyone.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and face-to-face interaction, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce commute time, and keep regular contact during life changes.
