About Connie

Connie Harrington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, and anger. Connie also helps people dealing with parenting pressures, family problems, and life transitions.

Her approach combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered methods. She uses straightforward conversation to help clients recognize unhelpful patterns and try small, practical changes. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps rather than abstract theory.

Connie often supports people who are managing caregiving responsibilities, aging-related concerns, blended family issues, and the fallout from separation or infidelity. She also addresses codependency, impulsivity, shame, and isolation. Work often includes skills for communication, boundary setting, and coping with change.

Motivational Interviewing and the Gottman Method are part of her toolbox when relevant. These approaches help with motivation to change and improving relationship interactions. She frames techniques so they can be used in everyday life, like short practice exercises between sessions.

Sessions are offered in English and are based in Pennsylvania. The emphasis is practical problem solving and steady progress. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Connie uses ACT, CBT and client-centered work online

Connie often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting dragged into them, then pick actions that match their values. That approach can help with anger that feels automatic and with making different choices in stressful moments.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and test small behavioral changes. CBT tools are practical for managing anxiety, low mood, and patterns that fuel resentment or frequent outbursts.

Client-centered work keeps the focus on what matters to the individual. It involves listening, reflecting, and adapting techniques to the person's goals rather than following a rigid plan.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust as progress and preferences become clearer.

Session format details should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow brief check-ins when time is tight, or avoid travel. These practical benefits help people use therapy in everyday life without promising a particular service.
